Colleders theres whence having-gathered 8
large (th, of fit matcria's in order to ſuch a
Work, Ierew encouraged to proceed farther;
and therenpop, betock, my ſelf to 4 diligent
ſearch into thdſe 01d Records in the Tower of
London, office of the Rolls, Exchequer,
and ſundry other publick places, Next into
that incomparable Treaſary of moſt antient
and choice Marinſcripts 5 which the late Right

Worthy Sir Robert Cotton Baronet, had, in"

bis time, happily get together : And after
that, into divers other, no leſs eſtimable
which, with mich charge, had bccn gained by
the Right Honorable the Late Lord Hatton;
and by his eſpecial f avor freely communicated
to me; likewiſe into that elaborate Colle@10n
from the Pipe-Rolls wade. by Mr. Roger
Dodſworth, (»:y late deceaſed Friend) and
into ſunary olker, whercunto my Puotations
do refer ; Amongſt which, thoſc of 1he before
ſpecified Robert Glover, formerly Somerlet
Herald , ( moſt opportunely acquired from
ſeveral bands, - wherein they lay obſcured )

were not the ltaſt,

A tash, (indeed) of ſuch importance and
weight (for ſo, at length, I found it to be)
that though I had thus fitted my ſelf with
materials conducing thereto, T could hardly
be pcrſwaded to undertake. But conſodering
at laſt, that theſe my Colle@3ons, which had
been no ſmall charge and pains to me, Were
not like to be of ſuch uſe to thoſe, unto whoſe
hands, they might hereafter come, as to my
ſelf 5, I reſolved to put them in order, and to
begin the Work.

As toits Title, The Baronageof ENG-
EAND:; ſome perhaps may deubt , whe:
ther it be ſuitable and proper to it; by reaſon
it contains all other ſuperior Dignities, from
a Baron to a Duke. 7: [uſtve. It is therc-
fore to..be noted, That all thoſe Degrees were
antiently comprebenaed under that appel/a-
tron; and. that this Firſt V'olume relates onl y
to ſuch of the Earls, and therr Deſcendants,
as had their firſt Advancements, before the
end of King Henry the Thirds Reign 5 and
to all others, who held their Honors or Ba-
ronies by Tenure, as aniiently. The ſecond,to

of later times they are become meerly Titular :
The Earls, and thoſe of ſuperior Degrees ,
having, for the moſt part, nothing to do in
thoſe Connties or Places ; nor ſome of the Ba-
rons, but take their Titles of Honor atcoraing
to their, own fancy 5 ſometimes of Places,
whereof they are not owners ; and ſometimes

ſometimes in their Military capacity of
Dukes) before the Norman Conqueſt : Tet,

ol4 Hittorians, who hawe made any mention
of their memorable Ations; which (indeed)
is but very little, by reaſon that Literature was,
1n thoſe days, at a low ebb; in regard of the

frequent Wars and Troubles, which the Saxon

Dignity equal to that of Baron, after the
Conquestz though of theſe (and bat fewnei-

much ( for the Reaſons before noted) to be
found. But, after Duke William of Nor-
mandy, had, by his Conqueit here, obtained
the Crown of this Realm, making a general .
diſtribution of the greates$t part thereof, a-

vanced ſome of them to the Dignity and Title *
of Earls, others to that.of Barons 5 as our

Though that thei come-noght with good

Of thoſe Earls which were before the Nor-
man Congqueit, and for ſome time after, it is
obſervable , That they were not Titular, but
Offictary, that is to ſay, in the nature of Vice-
Roys or Lieutenants to the King, 3» their
reſpeFive Counties their cheif reſidence,
being, for the moſt part , in the Principal
Town of the Shire, whereupon they had, vul-
garly, their Denomination from thence, Like-
wiſe, that though the antient Earls of Suller,
bad their Seat at Arundel Caſtle, and for
that reaſon were commonly called Earls of
Arundel ; there is nothing more certain,
then that they were Earls of that County ; as
Ferrers was of Derbilhire , though ſome-
times called Earl of Tutbury, in regard
that Tutbury Caitle (in Staffozdſhire)
was his cheif Seat, And Gilbert Strong-
bow, Earl of Pembzoke, #hongh ſomtimes
called Earl of S'riguil. by reaſon that be

of that Precept to the Sheriff ( which bears

date at Tewksburp., 24 Martii; 27 Hen.3.)

viz. That he ſhould thereby be veſted with

the Earldom, may ſcem, from what an old
Annaliſt » addeth tothe mention of making bMS. in
this Thomas Knight, at Whitſontide (the TOY
King then ſolemniſing that Feſizual at G[0+ (Caur,) £

thoſe, who were the Kings cbeif Tenants, 1d

of Barones Majores. And, as they thus
holding of the King in Capite, by Barony,
were called his Barons : $0 had moſt of the
great Earls, in thoſe eltey times, their great
Freeholders wnder them”, whom they alſo
called Barons; as s« evident by their Char-
ters , wherein they uſually wrote Omnibus
Baronibus ſuis, tam Francis quam Angli-

holders, who were aiitiently Homagers to
them, as the Kings were to him : Whereupon
the Jurors in ſuch Conrts, are to this day, int
many places, called The Homage.

And, as theſe great Tenants to the Kixz,"
( who had their Titles ſrom their principal
Seats or Heads of their Baronies) were called
his Barones Majores 3 ſo were his other
Tenants ( or Freeho:ders ) who held of him _
by Military ſervice in Capite, termed Ba-

Boronghs. Which rational device, for pre-
vention of danger, being at that time begun
by them, hath (as we ſee ) been continued and
praiſed, by the ſucceſſreve Kings of this
Realm, cur ſince.

But intheConquerors time, he who had not
forty Hides of Land, was not reputed a Ba-

ron: For-by an anthentick, Teſtimony, it is:

thus Recorded $ Abbas Wulfricus
habuit fratrem, Guthmundum Vocabulo ;
cui filiam prxpotentis viri, in matrimoni-
um conjungi paraverat : Sed, quoniam ille
wel. hidarum terre domimum minus obtine-
ret; licetnobilis eflet, inter Proceres tunc
nuncupart non potuit. m

Certain it is, that thoueh the Earls 3x
thoje days, bad that formality of Inveſtiture,
as 1 have briefly ſhewed, and afterward ", by
a venerable Kobe and Coronet 5 I do not find
that the Barones Majores had any Creation
at all, ether by Charter or Robe, but were

torwards, others, having* Writs/ of Sum-
mons, to come to Parliament, -ſate inter Ba-
rones 3 that is to ſuy, with, and amongſt
thoſe, who were Barons by Tenure 5 where-
por they were called their Peers or equals,
ard conſequently were reputed Barons.

Torching the Antiquity of which Writs of

| their Lands by Barony, but were called to

thoſe great Councils ( we now term Pariia-
ments) by reaſon of their Prudence 3 ſome
are of opinion, that they began towards the
later end of King Henry the Thirds Reign 3,
which is vcry probable, in regard, upen that
grand defection of thoſe who had been in
Arms againſt the King, aud vanquiſhed in
the Battle of Eveſham; moſt, if not all of
them, were, at preſenh, ſet aſide, But, to point
out, who they were, that had their firſt riſe, by

Writof Summons, ##til i22 Edw. I. and iRor. Vaſ-
con, 22 E.I.

afterwards, paſſeth my Skill 3 there being no in dorſo m,

publick Record, that doth make mention of s.
them, till then, excepting that of 49 Hen.3,

which only taketh notice of thoſe, who were,

in the Kings Name ſummoned by the Rebelli-
ous Barons to that Payliament, which they
held, whilſt he was their priſoner.

Perhaps it may be doubted by ſome, whe-
ther every Family, of whem T have diſcourſed
in this firſe Tome, where ſtridly Barons by

ſuch, T ſay, that, having found, from the
Notes of ſome former Judicious Antiquaries,
that they were ſo reputed 5 1 deemed it a ſafer
error, to takenotice-of them, in that quali-
fication, then, by their omiſſion, tacitly to
conclude them otherwiſe.”

Peradventure alſo, it may be thought, that
my omitting the Arms of thoſe Families ,
whereof Tdodiſcourſe,is a fault, But there-
unto T anſwer, that, well conſidering Heredi-
tary Arms to be of nogreater Antiquity then
King Richard the Firſts time; IT might
have been too raſh, in attributing thoſe, which
(from the teſtimony of good *Aunthority) have
been ſince borne, tothe times preceding, which
were totally uncertain: Solikewiſe, as to the
Coronets of Earls, for which we have no ſure
authority, above King Edward the Third's
timeznerther of Viſcounts till King James's,
nor Barons till this of King Charles the $e-
conds Reign, t

Beſides , admilting good evidence for all
theſe, throughout all times, ſuch hath been the
diſuſe of this age for cutting of Trints. in
Wood; by reaſon, that thoſc in Copper are
more beautiful 5 that the Art of Carving in

that kind , is now ſo loſt, as there is little

done therein , but what would rather blextiſh
the Work, then adorn it. And, as to Cuts in
Copper, it is very well kriown, that there can
be no uſe of them made by that Preſs, which

no clearer light, to guide me better, I have |

As to the defe@s in the Matches and Iſſue

of ſuch Publick Enteries of thenr, as have

ing them to have been Orginally French 5,
and, that there is ſome colour for it, in re-
gard their names are found in divers Cop-
pies of that Memorial commonly called The
Roll of Battail-Abby. To this I Anſwer ;
that there are great Errors or rather Falſi-
ties in moſt of theſe Copiesz by atributing
the derivation of many from the French ,
who were not, at all , of ſuch ExtraGjon ;
but meerly Engliſh; 2s by their Surnames,
taken from ſeveral places in this Realm , is
moſt evident. But ſuch hath been the (ub-

dreſs, unto ſuch, as might have given me

better

all deſire, that thoſe who are, or may be
concerned in that kind, of whom I am pro-
perly to make mention in the other Parts of
of this rriſtorical Work, now ſirsreg for the
Preſs 3 will take ſome care to cauſe ſuch En-
tries fo be made, as may preſerve the me-
mory of them to future times : Whereunto,
having acceſs, I may make uſe of what is
mot qeceſſary.

And, as to the memorable Ations of thIe, |

who have lived in theſe later times; if it ſhall
be thought, T havs not .been ſo Copious in
making mention of them, \as I might : Ide-
(tre it may be conſidered, that the Reign of
King James did not afford very much : And
that the greateſt part of King Charles the
Firſt's, was calm and peaceable, until the
prevalent party in that unhappy Long Par-
liament, being tainted with Presbyterean
Principles; raiſed ſuch an inſurreFion as
deſtroyed many Thouſands , and at length
terminated, in the horrid murther of that
moſt pious and excellent King. Touching
the chief Adors wherein, it is yet too early

to. diſcourſe : But, in the next Age, 'tis like, |

that thoſe ſubtile Artifices, whereby they firſt
got Power into their blogdy Handsz and
their tranſcendent Oppreſſzons, and Cruelties,
when they had gained it, may be faithfully
repreſented to the life, by ſome more able
Pen; to the end, that Poiterity may not be
rgnorant 3 that it was under the ſpeciows

pretence 'of aſſerting the Eſtabliſhed Rehi- -

of the SubjeCts, that theyallured the people to

acceptable unto moſt, to be reputed deſcend-
ants to thoſe who were Companions with
Duke William, in that memorable Expedi-
tion, whereby he became Conqueror of this
Realms as that, to gratify them (but not

without their own advantage ) they inſerted

| their namcs into that antient Catalogue,

Perhaps alſo, ſome may think, that there
is not exough ſaid in honour of their own ye-
ſpeFive Families, comparatively with others.
To ſuch IT Anſwer; that many there have
been, who though raiſed to Honour, for their
perſonal merits, did deſcend from Anceſtors
of eminent note in the World, for divers
Ages, yet not Peers of this Realm, of whos
I could not- juſtly be ſilent, Again, no ra-
tional perſon can judge, that at men in all
times, have been alike ative in the World.
therefore, of them which lived privately, how
can we exped to find more, than we now
diſcerne of ſuch, who are our own Contem-

World were Succeſsfully Plantcd and Peo-

and peculiar times; and not their begin-

had every Family its reſpcdive time, an ats
deſerved Exaltation.

And, as to thoſe, whoſe perſonal virtues
have been conſpicuous ; that they have wor-

the Lay-man, was thought to be not a little
impared ; they fell to work, again, under the
ſp2ciows pretence of taking away thoſe things
out of other places, as were then thought un-
neceſſary, and ſuperſtitious : Whereby, ſuch
ſpoil and deſtru@ion was made in the Ca-
thedrals, Collegiate, and Parochial-Churches
of the Nation: by defacing thoſe Monuments
of the Dead, where any gain was to be had
as that few of them, whereon any Portrai-
dure in Braſs, or Copper; or Epitapths in
ſuch mettle kad been engraved, were permit-
ted to remainy.but were barbaronſly torne
away, and ſold to common Braſters and
Tinkers : In ſo muth, as Complaint being
ade thereof to Queen Flizabeth , ſhe iſſued
out two Proclamations; theqnein the Second
gear of ber Reign, and the other in the Four-
teenth, for putting a reſtraint to. this exe-
crable dealing. But alas, all too late; that
miſchief being done which could not be. re-
paired.

Such hath been ( we ſee) the ſpecious

God; but under thoſe holy Veiles, to perpe-
trate the greateſt Villanies imaginable, Con-
ſonant whereuwto, it cannot eaſily be for-
gotten, what we have ſeen, of this kind, ated
over again in our own times, In which thoſe
few Memorials of the dead, that were left
andeſtrozed before; have been, by the hor-
rid rapine of thoſe Holy- pretended Zealopts
(then in Armes) thronghogt all the Cathe-
drals of this Realm, and mot Parochial
Chur ches, almoſt totally eradicated.

With what difficulty, length of time, and
expence, the Materials for this Work, have
been got together, there are not many, I am
ſure, that can well Judge. And yet 1 ny
expeF& no leſs than the cenſure of ſome, who
would have it thought. that they know much;
if they do hit upon any thing that T have,
not ſeen; and perhaps will tax me with
negligence, or worſe, for omitting it; though
it be as unlikely that I fhould have cogni-
fſance therecof , as 'tis to know what money
another man hath in his Pocket.

Others*there are, I dowbt, who will be apt
to blame me for repreſenting the piety of an-
tient times, in ſuch ſort , as I have done;
looking upon it 'as vain, and ſuperſtitions :
But whatſoever the opinion of thoſe may be,
as to matter of Merit; T think it ſafeſt to
judge the moſt charitably of all men,

As it is mnch ſatisfa#ion, to my ſelf,
that after ſo many years travel and pains, 1

© have thus far bronght to light the moſt re-

markable AGions of divers worthy men ,
who have long ſince flouriſhed in this Realm,
and been famons in their generations : which

or regard for the Honour of their preg Aus
ceſtors 5 and likewiſe encourage ſome publick,
Spirit s of greater abilities, and better Intereſt,
to purſue the work, , thus begun by doing richt,
in due time, to thoſe of this Later age, touch-
ing whom I have made but a brief mention,
for the reaſons before expreſſed.

Some, perhaps , there are , who ma 'y be
donbifull as to the certainty of divers things
which are related in this Hiſtorical Work
from the' Credit of our Chronologiſts, whoſe
uſual courſe hath been to magnifie «the emi-
nent Adtions of the Worthies in their times,
with Hyperbolical Encomiums ; 4s they did
alſo the Piety of the Religions, unto littleleſs
than Miracle. But if, for this reſpe#, what
is of that kind delivered , ſhall be eſteemed
meerly fititions, the renowned Enterpriſes of
thoſe elder Ages,would be not « bu obſcured.
For", thongh to beget the higher Howor to
the fame of Heroick men, thoſe antient Wri-
ters (the Monks) did-aſſume-a Poetical Tis
Jomewhat farther than ſtrictly they ought ; to
the end that-the greater Veneration ſhould be
had to their Memories; if , for that reajox
thoſe their Reports ſhall be totally exploded;
there is nothing more certain, than that much
| of Truth will be utterly loſt.

AS to What T have related, which 3s be-
yond the memory of thoſe, who have been or
are my own Contemporaries z my Authorities
are exatly quoted, But as to what hath hay-
pened within that time,\it is upon their cre-
dit, who had no reaſon to ſpeak farther , or
otherwiſe than their own knowledge doth
reach: $0 that, I hope, there are tlo miſtakes
therein, but what the candid Reader may very
well pardon; if they be other than the Printers
faults : my chief end, being to deliver nothing
but Truth, and with an howorable reſpe@ to
every one.

And now to conclude, As this Hiſtorial
Diſcourſe will afford ( at a diſtance ) ſome,
though but dim, proſpe@ of the Magnificence
and Grandure, wherein the moſt Anticnt and
Noble Families of England did herctof ore
live: So will it briefly manifeſt how Short,
Uncertain, and Tranſtent Earthly greatneſs 4s,
For of no leſs than two hundred and ſeventy
in number, touching which this firſt Volume
doth take notice; there will hardly be found
above Eight, which do to this day continue;
and of thoſe prot any whoſe Eſtates ( compa-

|

| red with what their Anceſtors enjoyed ) are

not a little diminiſhed, Nor of that num-
ber (I mean 270. ) above twenty four, who
are by any younger Male-Branch deſcended

from them, for onght I can diſcover.

'this day 3 ſo that-few of them had to do beyond
thoſe Bounds.

Admitting therefore for truth what hath been
ſaid, it muſt be concluded, That thoſe two
Earls, viz. Britbric (or Berth ) and Offere, who
ruled here in the time of Egfrid, King of JNo2-
thumberland, were Miniſterial under him only
for the whole extent from Dumber to Scot:

land. Of which Earls, there is cheifly this f me- |

morable 3 Firſt, That Brithric being ſent by King
Egfrid into Jreland with an Army 3 notwith-
_—_— that the Iriſh then were a harmleſs peo-
ple, and always Friends to the Engliſh Nation, he
miſerably waſted that Countrey , but were not
long unrevenged, for ® the year enſuing, Egfrid
| Invading that part of Scotland then inhabited
by the Pids (though S. Cutbbert earneſtly diſ-
ſwaded him therefrom ) was ſlain : And that
Brithric, ſoon after making * another in-road up-
on the Pifts, to vindicate King Egberts death, loſt
T his life. |

The like fate * alſo had Offere, who within
. few years after, made another adycnture againſt
them for the ſame cauſe. Fes?

find no mention of any other Earl 3 but then,

Having thus traccd this haughty and turbulent

the preccding year, upon the Shore of Dumber,
called Lindiey Coaſt, where he had landed, and
made his Piratical Invaſion 3 and afterwards,
that he, with his Brother Edwyxe, gave Battle to
the King of J202way and Tots , upon the

That King Wiliam reſtored * unto him this 7?

to doubt his hdelity, is ſure enough. : Howbeit,

' committed Y the Adminiſtration and that part y1vid. o, to,

thereof, which lieth North of Tine, unto 0-

But his heart ſtanding not right to the Norman An, 1071,

Conqueror, he with his Brother Edmyne private-
ly withdrew * themſelves from Court, under co-
lour of advertiſement, That the King had a pur-
pole to ſecure him, and broke ® out in Rebellion.
And when his Brother. Edwyne was murthered

þctter credit, 'did for a while give him ſuch af: :

ſiſtance, that he raiſcd the Siege which the Danes
had made againſt the City oft London 3 and
worltcd them fo in ſundry places, that they were
conſtrained to retreat to their Ships 3 and had
not this treachcrous Eadric hindered the purſuit
at Eangels!o2D, where they were routed, the
Victory there had bcen abſolute. Howbeit, that
opportunity thus loſt, and the Danes getting, all
their ſtrength together 3 the King, with his whole
powcr encountring them at QAffandune- in
CGliter, might then have put a period to the diſ-
pute, but that this perhdious 0 diſcerning,
that at the hr{t onſet he was liRe to have the
better of the day, molt trayterouſly fled with all
that part of the Engliſh Army, whereof he had
the conduct 3 fo that the remainder being ex-
poſed to the fury and cruelty of the Danes, was
utterly routed , many of the Engliſh Nobility
thereby loling their lives, having never had the
like loſs in any Battle.

Nor was this wicked Eadric yet ſatisfied, but
to compleat his execrable deſign of deſtroying the
King himſelf, conſpired his murther, which he
cauſed his Son to effect by a Knife ſtricken up
into his Fundament , when hs went to caſe na-
ture. And having thus done, he preſently went
to the Queen, who being ignorant of the matter,
took her two Sons Edward and Edmund, and de-
livercd them to Cannte.

What expcCtations this ambitious Man then
had of farther advancement and reward from
Canute, tor all his moſt horrid and nefarious ex-
ploits, is not hard to imagine 3 but theſe being
ncither ſuch, ſo ſoon as looked for, moved him
to expoſtulate thereupon with Canute, and at
length to upbraid him with thoſe his ſervices 3
which fo exaſperated Canute, that he ſaid, For-
aſmach as thou haſt with thy own mouth acknowledg-
ed thy ſelf guilty of murthering thy rightful King,
and Natural Lord, thou haſt judged thy ſelf , and

thereupon, cauſing him to be bound hand and

toot, commanded that he ſhould be thrown into
the Thames, and drowncd ; which was. ac-
cordingly done., fcaring otherwiſe, that himſelf
might be deftroyed ſome time or othcr by his
wicked treacherics. Others report that Cannte
ſaid thus, .Becauſe thor haſt, by this fa&t, thought to
pleaſe me , T1 will advance thee higher than all the
Noblemen of England ; and that thercupon he
commanding his Head to be cut off, ſet it upon a
Pole on the higheſt Gate in LOonDon, and his
Body to be caſt without the Walls of the City.

King Canute, made to the Monks of Ctouland
in An. 1032»

This Leofric was Earl of Cheſter * in the timc
of King Ethelred , and-made * Earl of Mercia
(by the title of Dax) by King Canute,for his Bro-
ther Normans ſake , who was undeſcrvedly killed
(as hath been ſaid) being afterwards very much
beloved by that King.

He is by ſome of our Hiftorians called-© Earl
of Derefv2D , but that was (I preſume) by rea-
ſon of his reſidence at IDereto2D ſometimes, (it
having been uſual in former times to call thoſe
pcrſons Earls of ſuch places, whereat they did
reſide, as is evident in thoſe of Strigutl, fA-
riundel, Tutbury, and others, though they
were Earls of certain Counties, in or near wherc-
unto thoſe Caſtles where they lived then ,
ſtood.) |

Upon the death of King Cannte, there being
no little controverſic amongſt the great Men of
the Land, touching the Succeſſion to the Crown,
this Noble Leofric, with other principal perſons
on the North of Thames, advanced Harold-
Harfot, Son to Canute, unto the Throne. And in
the year 1041. there being an Inſurrcction at
CClooceſter, in reſpect of a General Tax im-
poſed by King Hardi-Canme , he, together with
Godwyne, the TUeſt Saron Earl, and Simard
Earl of J202thumberland, was ſcnt to appcaſe
the ſame.

And upon the death of Hardi-Canne , was
one-of the cheif that raiſed King Edward the
Confeſſor (at that time in J202Mmandy ) to the
Crown. Morcover, in' the year 1051. upon the
Rebellion of the ſame Earl Godwyne ; he, with
Earl Siward came with great Forces to the King,
then at Glouceſter,

This Earl Lesfric was a perſon of ſingular
Piety : About the beginning of King Edwards
Reign, he Founded a great Monaſtery at CT0-
ventry, and then endowing it with no Icſs than

Twenty four fair Lordſhips 3 fo far inriched it

with {everal Ornaments, as that there was not
to be found in any Religious Houſe of England,
ſo much Gold, Silver, Jewels, and precious Stones,
as In It,

Nay, William of Malmsbury affirmeth, That
it was inriched and bceautihed with ſo much Gold
and Silver, that the Walls ſeemed too narrow to

' contain it 3 inſomuch,, as Robert d* Limeſie, Bi-

ſhop of Coventry (for ſo he was then called,
though afterward LeiChfielD was added to the
Title) in the time of King William Rufus, ſcraped
from-one Beam which ſupported the Shrines,
Five hundred Marks of Silver. Nor was this
all 3 tor it appears, that Egelzoth, Archbiſhop of
Canterbury, in his return from Rome, at
Javia there purchaſed the Arm of the famous
S. Auguſtine, (ometime Biſhop of Pippo , for
which he gave no leſs than'an Hundred Talcrits
of Silver, and one Talent of Gold 3 and for the
love which he bore to this Earl Leofrzc, ſent it to
this Religious Houſe 3 which precious Relick was
placed in a Silver Shrine.

One thing more, very memorable , Azilredus
Rievallenſis * in his obſervations upon the life, ard
miracles of King Edward the Conteſſor, doth rc-
port 3 viz. That this devout Leofric, upon a time,
attending that*pious King near the Altar inthe
Abbey - Church of S. Peter, at CU{eſtminſter,
which he had Founded 3 at the elevation of the

dt not reveal this , I*# the credit ther oof (hould
ſuffer throngh the emul.1tion of Vabelizvers , where-

| unto he obeyed. But to the end, that the truth of

this Miracle might not be conccalcd trom poltc-
rity, wrote the particulars thereot in a Schedule,
and delivercd it to a Monk ot CCiOtilicr,
with command , That it ſhould be pvt into 3

Shrine, and not opencd until after the death of

himſclt, and the King. .
This good Earl Leofric took to Wite Þ Cot

(a moſt. beautitul and devout Lady ) Sift © tO)
one Thorold, Sheriff of LINCOLijirf, in thoſe
days, and Founder of Spalding Abby 3 as
alſo of the ſtock 9 and lincage of Thorold, Sheriff
of that County, in the time of Kornlph, King of
£Yercia 3 * which Counteſs Golera bearing an
extraordinary affection to the City of © ELe:2-

that for the love of God and the Blefſed Viryin,
he would free it from that gricvous {ervitude

got on Horsback naked with-hewHair looſe 3* to

Nor did her zcal to Gods Service terminate
here: For beſides this, ſhe Founded the Mona-
ſtery of Stow, near Lincoln, dedicating it to
the Bleſſed Virgin, and endowed it with the
Lordſhips of J2ewark, Flatburgh, and Yar-
tinewelle ; giving poſſcſion of them by a fair
Jewel, and rich Bracclets curiouſly wrought. (as

King, Edward the Confeſſor himſelf , Alared

The dcath of this Noble Leofruc was at his
Mannor of 1320Mmleage in Com. .... /-» upon
the ſecond Kalcnds of September , in the ycar
1057. (13 Edw. Conf.) and his Sepulture in that
Monaltcry at Oventrey, of higown Founda-
tion 3 unto which, he bequcathed his Body to
be buricd , giving therewith a-great quantity of
Gold and Silver. ;

Of his Lands, I find no other mentioned in
the Conquerors Survcy, than theſe only, viz.
Attone, Nunetune, -and (Witechellaw in
Com. 9alo:. 4

Nor of the Noble Lady Godeva his Wite, then

To him ſucceeded in this Earldom his eldeſt
Son Algar , of whom I may not omit what is
mcmorable, whilſt his Father Earl Leofric was a-
livc.

In An. 1053. (10 Edw. Conf.) Harold Son to |

Earl Godwyne coming to cnjoy the Earldom of
the TUerſt Sarons,. upon his Fathers death,
quittcd his intercſt in the Earldom of the -Caſt
S\rons to this Algar. Morcover, about two
ycars after, this Algar, was (upon dcliberation
had in a great Council held at London) baniſhed
by King kdward, for what- particular cauſe is
not ſaid, but for Treaſon in gecncral.

Whereupon he wafted over into Treland, and
ſoon after, returning, with Eightcen Ships as a
Pirate, incited Griffin, Prince ot (Ulales, to take

' part with him. Whercunto Griffiz conſenting,

thcy invaded {)ErctorDihire with a Rebellious
Army+ flew and routcd all thbſe Forces which
R alph, Earl of Perefo2D , had raiſcd to oppoſe
them and having ſo done, marched to Dere-
fo!d, where by Firc and Sword, they did no little
milchcift. Ot which, the King having notice,
he preſently ſent Hardd, Earl of the Tet
SAarons, againit them with a great power 3
but by mediation of ſuch as interpoſed, all being
quicted , Al/g.r was admitted to the,Kings pre-
fence, and had his Earldom (ſciſcd *on for this
his Rebcllion) reſtored to him again.

Attcr this, about two years Earl Leofiic his
Father departing the World , he ſuccecded ® in
this Earldom 3 howbcit, the next enſuing ycar
being baniſhed Þ® again, he loſt it but by thc
help © ot Griffn, Prince of CCIalrs , and the
J202wap Flcer, which came to him uncxpected-

Moneth attcr, departing this-9 lite, was buried ©

in-the Monaſtery at Coventrey, ncar to the

Grave of his Father 3 leaving Iſſue (but by whom
I have not ſcen) two Sons, Edwyne, who {ucceed-
ed him in this his Earldom 3 as alſo Morkar, Earl
of J2o2thumberiland, (of whom I have ſpoke

To this laſt mentioned Earl Algar, ſucceeded
Edwyne his eldeſt Son, in this Earldom (Edward
the Confeſſor being dead, and Harold, the Son of

whom, that which is moſt memorable, IL. ſhall
here relate : viz; That when Tofti Earl, of J201-
thumberland, had Landed on Lindſey Coaſt
(in Lincolnſhire) with his Rebellious Forces 3
he, with the help of Morkar, his Brother, did beat
him out of that Countrey : And ſoon after this,
moſt couragiouſly gave Battle near Pozk, unto
Harold Harfager, King of J202wap (who then
_ invaded the Land ) though without ſuc-
ccls.

And, though it doth not direQly appear, that
he was in that notable Battle at Stanfo2D-
BUKNK in Pozkſhtre with King Harold, which

phapned within five days after, wherein that King
of J202wap was lain 3 yet it may be very well

preſumed that he was , in regard thatafterwards
wg k himſelf from giving aſliſtance to
King Harold in that fatal Battle ,

after enſued with Wil:am, Duke of J20zmandy,
upon his invaſion of this Realm 3 the reaſon of
ſuch his deſertion is inſtanced, wiz. (Not for any
well-wiſhes he had to Duke William , but) for
that King Harold had detained from him his ſhare
ot the ſpoils got in* that fight at Stanfo2d-
4252KK : For no ſooner did he and his Brother
Morkar hear, that the Norman Duke was Con-
qucror, and that King Harold was ſlain 3 but

that both of them haſted I ro Landon, and there
ſollicitcd ® the Citizens to make one of them

King of Scots, with divers Engliſh and Danes
were got 4 together;as thcir only place of Refuge
which ſo enraged the Conqueror, that with Fire
and Sword he thereupon almoſt deſtroyed © that
whole City,

All therefore being in the Power of the Con-
queror (for ſo Duke Wiliam was thenceforth
called) this Earl with his Brother Morkar, and
divers others at Berkamſted in Dertfo2d-
ſhire, ſubmitting * themſelves, ſwore * fealty
to him, and. were thereupon with many fair
words, received * into veoteica 3 and not only
ſo, but were preſent * at his Coronation : Nay,
this Earl Edwyne was aſſured Y by the King,that he
ſhould have his Daughter in marriage howbeit,
through * the deceittul Council of his Normans,
there was no * performance of that promiſe 3 but
inſtead thereof, in Lent following , when the
Conqueror went into J202Mmandp, he would
not truſt theſe great Men behind him, but took
b them, and mel of the principal Engliſh Nobility
(from whom he feared miſcheif in his abſence)
along, with him.

Which hard dealing provoked © this Earl Ed-
wy? and his Brother Morkar ( who wete very
popular and well beloved ) to break out by a
new Inſurre&tion , wherein they had many fol-

wiſhes and ſupplications of the” poor, for their
better ſucceſs in that enterpriſe: Such was the
then general diſcontent throughout the Kingdom,
by reaſon of the miſerable oppreſſons exerciſed
by the Normans. To the alliſtance © of which

Earls, Blidon King of (Uales, their Nephew, -

came alſo with a numerous Army. |

But King Wiliam, wiſely foreſceing the dan-
ger, cauſed f narrow ſearch into all places to be
made 3 and forthwith fortified ſuch £ which
might be of any advantage to his Enemies : So
that this our Edwyne and his Brother Morkar ,
conſidering, the ſucceſs of their attempts to be
dubious, ſought ® for favor 3 which being grant-
ed i but in ſhew, Morkar betook * himſelf to
the Iſle of Ely, whence he deſigned, in caſe
he ſhould not be able to defend himſelf, to get
away by Sea. Whereupon | the King drew down
Forces to beſiege him, but withal, imployed de»
ccitful Meſſengers to treat with him, from whom
he had no little aſſurance, that if he would ſub-
mit, he ſhould be received into the condition of
a faithful Friend 3 unto which, he giving over-
much credit, came peaceably out, and yielded
himſelf; but the King reſolving to truſt him no

more, conveyed him to cloſe and perpetual im-

priſonment.
Whereof when Edwyne heard, he determined
m to releaſe him or loſe his life 3 and to that end
endeavored, - for full ſix Moneths ſpace, to get
aſſiſtance from ,the Scots, Welſh, and Engliſh ,
but before he could accompliſh any thing there-
in, three Brothers, who were his principal Mili-
tary Officers, and ſuch as in whom he repoſed
great truſt, betrayed him to the Normans, | by
whom, with Twenty Horſmen, being pent up

_ in ſuch a place;with the Tide, that they could

not eſcape, valiantly defending himſelf , he lof
his lite. WES.

Whoſe death was not only much lamented
by the Engliſh, but by the French and Normans,
in regard he was ® of ſuch a Noble Extraction,
and of ſo devout Parents 3 as alſo a Perſon very

beautiful , and an eſpecial lover of the Clergy,
Monks, and Poor-people. So that, when the
King hinielf heard by- what treachery his life
was loſt, being compaſlionately moved, he wept 3
baniſhing thoſe that betrayed him, inſtead of re-
warding them as they expected. .

F Lent the firſt Earl, whercof I have
() ſecn any mention, and that upon. a mc-

morable occaſion, was Ealhere, viz. A
Victory againſt the Danes in this County, in the
year of Chriſt Dccclii. Who arriving ? in the
Mouth of Thames with 350 Ships, landed
d agfeat Army 3 walted the City of London 3
and foiled © Beortulph, King of the Mercians,-in
open fight : But at Icngth, coming, to Dand-
with, were encountred © by King Erbelſtan (Son
to Ath:lwulph, the (Lieſt Saxon King 3) and
by the hclp of this Earl Exlhere , after. great
ſlaughter, totally put © to flight , nine of their
Ships being then alſo taken f.. About two years
aftcr, this valiant Earl , with the afliſtance of
Wada®%, Earl of SUrrep, gave themaBattle
" again in the Iſlc of Shinep 3 where, though,
at the fiſt i onſct, he had the better of the day,

d:yct,at laſt, the Danes prevailing, | he loſt * his
life. ;

The next Earl of this County .( that T mect
with) was Ceolmznd, fo conſtituted ! by King
Aelfred, in the ycar of Chriſt Dcccxcvii, to with-
ſtand the incurſion bf thoſe Pagan-Daxes, which
then much intcſicd this Land.

In the time of King Canutus, Godwyne ®, a per-
ſon of grcat note in thoſe days , and-of a moſt
Noble Extraction, was Earl ". viz. Son of IV ol-
oth, Son of Egelmar, Sor. of Egelrick, Brother to
that great Edric-Streona , Earl of Percia, in

the days of King Ethelred, commonly called the
Unredy. ;

In the ycar 1024.. this Earl Godwyne was Ge-

ncral ® of the Engliſh Forces in that expedition
made by- King, Camtus, with his Army, confiſt-
ing of Engliſh and Danes, againſt the Swedes
in which he performed moſt fignal ſervice 3 for
? diſcerning the King «to have great loſs in the
frſt days fight , he. privily aſſaulted 4 the Enc-
mics Camp in the night following , ſlew a mul-
titude of them, and routing the reſt, compelled
Ulfe and Ezglafe, Kings of that Nation, to peace»
able terms.

But the-next thing memorable of him (that T
have met with ) was a moſt perfidious and ig-
noble At , which much clouded the honor he
gained by that brave and hcroick exploit 3 the
Story ® whereof is bricfly this. |

The year following the death of King Canu-
tw, ( who was in truth no other than an In-

| vader here) A fred, Son to Etheldred, late King

of Tngland, by juſt Succeſiong having rc-
mained in J202Mmanwy, with Duke Richard
his Uncle, for a long time, made fall hither with
Five and twenty Ships full of ſtout Soldiers, to
challenge his righttul Tnheritanc# 3 and arrivin

at Sandwich , advanced/ to Canterbury;
whercof Ear]-Godwyne having notice, he went
and met him 3 and having aſſured him of his
Fidelity, fcaſted with/him that Evening : But
ſoon attcr, in the njght time, when *X fred and
his followers werg aſlcep in- their Beds at Gtttl-
(02D (in Surrey) he ruſhef'in upon them with
a multitude of armed Men 3 and binding their

hands behind them, ſet them on a row ; cauſing.

them all to be beheaded, except the tenth. man 3

And now to cloſe up my ſtory of this great
Earl, take here this*ſharp Character of his from _
an old Hiſtorian ®, ——Erat inter potentes Anglie b Ailredos Ri-
omnuem potentiſſimus z vir magnarum opum , ſed _ nY
aſtutie ſingularis , Regum R egnique proditor 5 qui has.
docu fallere,-& quelibet diſſimulare conſuetws, fa-
cile populum ad cuuſlibet fations inclinabat aſ-
ſenſl « Amongſt the great Men of England, he
was the moſt potent of all 3 a Perſon of great wealth, — >,
but of eſpecial craft a betrayer of Kings and the
Kingdom ; who being tkilful to decerve, and ac-
cuftomed to diſſemble every thing, could eaſily ſeduce
the ous to joyn with any Fadition. But to lcave
the belt ſavor of him, I will not omit his Works
of Picty to the Cathedral of ©” anterbury 3
viz, i TheTowns and Lordſhips of Stiſtede
and Cogſhalil in Effer 3 as alſo of Chich,
which he had of the gift of King Cannutws, and
beſtowed in pure Alms upon the Monks there
ſerving God.

One thing more, viz. a notable * paſſage be-
twixt Alfwald, the haſt Biſhop of '=htreburne,
and this Earl, I cannot well omit. This Alf-
wald was a very devout Man, and ſo much mor-
tified, that when others did profuſcly feaſt, (as it
was then the- uſage to do ns in England,
after the coming in of the Danes) he would
take no other ſuſtenance but Bread and Water :
A Perſon he was moſt highly devoted to the
Bleſſed Virgin, and S. Cuthbert 3 of whom, it is
farther obſervable, That after his death, no one
could ſleep ſitting in his Chair, -but he was terri-
fied with ugly Viſions. But that of him which
relates to this Earl, is this, That upon ſome dif-
coment betwixt him and Godwyne, and the ſame
not appeaſed upon a mceting which was —
ed for that purpoſe 3 the Biſhop upon his de-
parture, ſaying, By S. Mary, it ſhall go evil with
him, it fell out accordingly 3 the Earl being
thenceforth never free from the torture of his
Guts, until he received this Biſhops BenediQi-

(in the time of King Edgar ) of whom there is

gar after the death of that fair Lady Elflede his **** **®
Queen , having heard how great fame Alfrida,

Daughter to Ordgar, Earl of £)evon 3 had for

her beauty , privately ſent this Earl Etbelwolfe,

as his cheit Conhdent, to ſee if ſhe was ſuch a

one as general report had repreſented her to be : |
Who accordingly took his journey to her Fathers |
Houſe in. thoſe parts, and finding her in all re-

ſpects really to be no leſs than had been expreſt

of her, he bethought himſelf how to delude the

King, and obtain her for his own Wife 3 and

thereupon made his Addreſſes to Earl Ordgar her

Father, to that purpoſe : Who, being an aged

and an infirm Man, and diſcerning this Ezhel-

wolfe to be a comely perſon, and skilful in the

exerciſe of Arms, concluded, That he might be

a fit match for this his ſole Daughter and Heir,

as being ablc to defend her Rights 3 and there-

upon gave his aſſent thereto, upon condition,

That the King would aſſent. Having thus far

proceeded, Ethelwolfe rgrurns, and tells the King,

That indeed ſhe was a Lady of a beautiful Coun-
tenance,but much bhrmel of Body 3 whereup-

on the King being content to let her alone. Ethel-

wolfe intreated: his good will, that he might have

her. himſelf 3 by which means a fair acceſſion of

Lands and Riches might come to his own Eſtate ;

and ſoon obtained his defire, Whereupon with-

in a ſhort. ſpace after he took her to Wife, and
begetting upon her a Son, prevailed with the _

King to be oneof his Godfathers. Having thus
accompliſhed his deſires 3 firſt in the enjoyment

of a Son, and next in this Alliance to the King,

by that Spiritual Kinrcd z he then revcalcd to his
Wife the whole ſtory , how he had dcluded the
King, who had {o great. a detire to have marricd
her 3 which much abated her atter atfc<tions to |
him, though the made no words thercot.

But at length it ſo hapned, that the truth of |

. this Earl Eth-lwolfs aCtings in this bulineſs, bc- |
ing fully made knowrf at Court, the King haſted
ſpeedily into £devonſhire , under colour of
Hunting in thoſe parts, and rcturncd not till he
had ſecn' this fair Lady 3; with whoſe beauty he
became ſo cnamorcd , that he cauſed a place of
entertainment to be prepared for hcr and hcr Hus-

band, near the Wood whercin he was to hunt
unto which, he was no ſooner returned from his
ſports, but he ſaw her with his little God-ſon,
whom Ethelwolfe ſoon preſented to him 3 the
King thereupon embracing her in his Arms ,
and kiſſing. her. Afffter- which, being enflamcd
with the love of her, he had little rcſt 3 his
thoughts tending to nothing, ſo much as the full
enjoyment-of her : For the accompliſhing there-
fore of that his dcfire, he calls a Parliament with-
in cight days following at Salisbury 3; in
which, all his Nobles of the Land being mct,
he propoſed to their conſideration the fate cuſtody
of J/2uzthumbverland, againſt the irruptions of
the Danes : Whercupon this Earl Ethe/wolfe was
reſolved on for the cuſtody of Po9k, and the
arts adjacent : But ſo the deſign was laid, that
m ſhould , never return back (as It ſeems) for
paſſing through the Foreſt of CUlermelle in
antſhire, he was ſet upon by certain armed
Men, ſent thither by the King to lic in wait for
him 3 and there barbarouſly murthered.

' The news whereof was no ſooner brought to

the Court, than that'the King ſent for that beau-
tiful Lady , and with great joy made her his
wife, the ſame day both of them wearing
Crowns on - their Heads : But on the morrow
morning Dnitan, Archbiſhop of Canterbury,
(afterwards better known by the name of Saint
Dwunttan) came into the Kings Lodging Chamber,
and boldly asked him, who that was that he had
there in Bed with him'; and it being anſwercd,
' The Quzen ; the good Archbithop plainly replicd,
That it was againſt the Laws of God, and Holy
Church, thus adulterouſly to lic with her whoſc
Son he had been Godfather $5, in regard of their
Spiritual Kinred. After which time ſhe never
loved S. Drnſtan 3: yet he ceaſed not to admoniſh
the King of that faukt , though to little pur-
poſe. |
All that I have farthcr to ſay * of this fair
Alfrida, is ; Firſt, That ſhe bore unto King,
Edgar two Sons 3 Edmund who died in his child-
hoodzand Ethelrzd (commonly called the Vrread)y )
who at-his Baptiſm pilt in the Font 3 whereupon
this holy Man S.D»nftan prophecied, That in him
the Dominion of the Exg/iÞ ſhould have its
period, wherein he was not much wide, as our

Hiſtorians do tcll. And ſecondly , That to cx-
” piate the murther of Earl Ethelwold her Husband,

had my to make his peace with the King
who lulgecting no harm, took with him only
three-pertons to attend him : Byt this treacherous
wane, haying him in his power, carricd 8® him to-
VBoleniam, where his Ships lay 3 and thence
on * Shipboard ( putting him in Bonds ) unto
OOr, where he molt inhumanely murthered
him i, and calt his body into a deep Ditch. cover-
ing it with Earth. Whence he fled co Fian-
ders with two Ships, and there continued un-
til Aldred , Biſhop ot CCiO2Ceſter , obtaining,
his pardon * trom the King , brought him back

into England again. *

Howbeit, after this he joyned with Earl God-
wyne his Father, _ in that | InſurreCtion of his,
which he raiſcd in Av. 1051. (as in my Dil-

courſe of him I have ſhewed) at which time he'
had the guard of a Town in ereto!Dſhire ,

then fortified by his ſaid Father 3 and for that fact
fled ® with him into #landers. Whence, to
expiate that wicked Murther formerly by him
committed upon Beorne, his Kinſman, (as hath

Jeruialem ; in which journey he got ſo much
cold, that he died ® thereof at Littu, in his re-

of a perverſe diſpoſition , unfaithful to the King;
Ofttimes he went from his Father, and Brother
Hzrol4 , and exerciling Piracy, did much blemiſh
the glory of his Anceſtors with Maritime Rob-
beries.

He married 9 Fxdith , Daughter to Baldwyn,

OF ENGLAND:

An. 1089. Affer this, viz. in An. 1059. all things being
m / M. a in a quiet condition, this Earl Harold came *,

- will. to his Lordſhip of Boleham in Suſſex (near
* (fs: b the Sea Coaſt) where ſo it hapned", that put-

ting out to Sea to ſolace himſelf in a Fiſher-
Boat, a ſudden Tempeſt aroſe, and drove the
Boat to the Coaſt of JPonthieu in France 3
where being forced on ſhore, he was made Pri- |
ſoner ® by the Inhabitants of thoſe parts, upon
ſuſpition, that he came thither as a Spy-.. Seeing
himſelf therefore in this condition, h@triouſly
pondered in his mind, how he might obtain his
liberty z and ſoon reſolving, diſpatched ? away
a Meſſenger (with promiſe of good reward) un= |
to Duke William of J202mandy , to let hirtg
know, that he was privately ſent over from Kyi
Edward, to reveal unto him ſome great ;
but being then detained Priſoner by the Earl of
Ponthicu, could not come to do his errandfÞ
Whereupon, by command 4 from Duke William,
(being ſoon ſet at liberty) he came * into J202- |-
manwp , and after moſt honorable * reception
there, was taken * with him, in that his Mili-
tary expedition , then made into Baitaynp 3
wherein he gave ſuch fignal teſtimonies ® of his
Prudence and Valor, as made the Duke not a
little in love * with him. Harold therefore diſcern- Þ-
ing how his ſubtile inſinuations had alrecy +”
wrought z that he might heighten the Dukes
eſtimation towards him the more , offered'y;
that by a fokemm Oath, he would deliver into |
his power the Caſtle of Dover, ( which was
his own right ) and likewiſe the Kingdom of
England , after the death of King Edward ;
wherefore, for more ſure performance thereof,
z Ala, a young Davghter of the Dukes, with a
large Portion, was betrothed to him.

Others © relate this ſtory thus, viz. That Earl
Godwyne (Father to this Harold) being baniſhed
the Kingdom, by reaſon of King Edwards juſt
diſpleaſure towards him for his Rebellious
practiſes, and not admitted to return without |
good ſecurity, for his future peaceable demeanor :
Wolnath, one of his younger Sons, and Hacun
Son to Sane his eldeſt Son , were delivered up
as Hoſtages to the ue » and ſent into JNo02-

mandy, there to be kept by Duke William ,
Baſtard-Son to Robert, Son of Richard, Brother
to Emme, Mother of King Edward. Which Earl,
dying not long, after (as IT have elſwhere ſhewed))
this Harold, his Son, came to the King, and be-
ſought Þ® him, that he might have leave to go
into Nomandy, thence to bring back his Bro-
ther and Nephew, who had been made Hoſtages
1.547+ uponthe occaſion before expreſt. To whom the
King replied ©, That he would not of bimſelf do it ;
nevertheleſs; that he might not ſeem to hinder
him, he ſaid," Go whither thou wilt, and try what
thow canſt do : But this I know,” that thy aim is no
other than to do miſcheif to this Engliſh Nation, to
thy own diſhonor , nor am I ignorant , that Duke
William will deny thy requeſt, nnleſi be know that
it may be much to bis own advantage. .

Hereupon he took ſhipping for the journey,
but by reaſon of a Tempeſt , was forced © into
the River. Yaia , which- brought him into
Pontineu, and there made Priſoner , until by
Duke William, unto whom he ſent a Meſſenger,
tht acquainted him with his misfortune, he was

elivered. _.

Being thus come into No2mandy, the Duke
entertained © him yery honorably, him with

All which being effected, Harold returning in-

The King replied 5 thus, Did not I tell thee, that

meaning King 3 that, by abuſing his innocency,
aftcr they had perpetrated the greateſt villanics,
they made themſelves the cheit Rulers and Diſ-
poſers of all things in the Kingdom.

Others report * this ſcuMe betwixt Harold, and
his Brother Teſti, thus, viz. That they being
jelting with one another in the preſence of the
King, Harold fell trom jeſting to lug his Brother
by the Hair, and throw him on the ground and
that had he not been prevented, he would have
ſtrangled him with his hands. Whereupon, the
King taking notice of the paſſage, ſaid, 7 hat there
would be very great feud betwixt them hereafter,
and that one of them ſhould be the deſtruction of the
other,

That which now remains to be faid of this
Earl, is, is getting of the Crown, which his am-
bitious thoughts had long aimed at : The manner
whereof was thus Þ.

King Edward departing this life without Iſſue,
the great Men of the Land grew not a little
doubtful, whom they ſhould ſet up to be King :
Some of them inclining to William, , Duke of
J2o2mandy, (whom King Edward had deſign-
ned, as was faid 3 ) ſome to this Earl Harold
others to Edzar-Ethelins , Grandſon to the late
King E4mrnnd Ironſide (who was, in truth,' the
rightful Heir, but then young :) But Harold be-
ing a crafty man, conſidering the dahger of de-
lay, upon the very Feſtival of the Epiphany, on
which King Edward was buricd, extorting Feal-
ty from the Nobles , ſet the Crown upor- his
own Head : Whereof his Brother Toſtz ( who
ſufficiently hated him) having notice, he failed
preſently out of Flanders ( where he was at
that time) with no lefs then Forty Ships z and
coming into Scotland , where he rnet Harold
Harfager, King of F201way, made a compact
with him, and invaded England, with defign

to conquer his Brother Harold : Which being |

made known unto Harold , he raiſed Hl the
power he ſuddenly could 3 and marching North-
wards to oppoſe them, at © StaAnfo!Þ Bridge in
Po2kſhire (which is over the River Oarwent )
after a ſharp conflict (wherein his Brother Tof#z,
and the King of J202way were both Nain) be-
came. abſolute Victor : But moſt avariciouſly
converting all the Booty and Spoils of the Field
*to his own ſole beneht, ſo diſcontented - his Sol-
dicrs, that they unanimouſly forſook him, and
diſperſt themſelves. . Nevertheleſs, 4 fo highly
was he clated with this great ſucceſs 3 that not
at all regarding his Oath made to Wilkam, Duke
of $202manvy 3 partly-for , that the young
Daughter of that Duke, to whom he had been
{o afhanced (as hath bcen ſaid) was dead; and
partly conſidering, that Duke William was at that
time embroiled in ſome Military diſputes with his
Neighbors of B21tanny, he fleighted thoſe fair
overtures which had been made to him, thinking
himſelt ſecure enough : And to juſtihe himſelf
therein the more, alledged, That the Oath which
he had made to the Duke, being in time of ne-
city, was not to be kept ; as alſo, that the
Kingdom, whilcſt King Eaward lived, could not
without his privity be diſpoſed of to any, But

Duke Wiliam was © of another mind 3 for no i
ſooner did he hear, that Haro!d had thiis made

4himfedlF King, but that he ſent f Anibafladors hi-

ther to put him in mind of the breach of his ;
Faith, and not without ſome threatning intima- *
tions of his farther purpoſe. Whereunto Harold
made reply ®, That, in truth, h: was of neceſſity
compelled, when be betrotbed his Danghter in J291-
mandp.,# mke that Oath of delrvering this Kinggomt
of England #0 him ; but ntterly denied that 4
compnlſory Oath tw45 at all to be kept. Adding, That
if a Vorw or Oath made by a Maid in the Houſe of
her Parents, withont their aſſent, be void ,, mmeb
more bis, who being under the power of the King,
and compelled to take an Oath without the Kings
privity, Moreover he alleadged ®, That it muſt be
beld tao mach preſumption to alichate the Inheritance
of 4 Kingdom, without a general conſerit of the peo
ple, and that it was a moſt wn requeſt, that be
ſhould quit the Kirgdom, which be bad undertaken 10

| govern with ſo much ſavor of the greateſt perſons

therein.

But the Duke, when he heard of theſe Allega»
tions, was not a little enraged 3 and therefore
aving obtained i the approbation of Pope Alex-
ander, to countenance his intended expeditiofi |
for England $; prepared ,confiderable Forces ,
with which he put * to Sca from the Port of S:
Qaleriesz and landing at Jaeveniey, near
Daſtings in Suſfex, did ſoon after put ! that
diſpute to the decifion of the Sword by a bloody
Battle, the Circumſtances whereof are at large
related by . our Hiſtorians 3 wherein Harold,
though fighting moſt courageouſly , and with
great reſolution loſt his life. After which, his
Body ® was delivered, by the Conquerors ap-
pointment, to Wiliam Malet, to be Interred up+
on the Sea-ſhore (near at hand) but being begged
by his Mother, was buried in the Abbey of TUal-
tram in Cflex , which he had Founded ®,

| Whence it is ſaid, he marching to this Battle, and $

making his Orifons ® to the Holy Croft (wheres
unto that Church was dedicated) the Croff at his ?
departure, as a farewel to him, did bend, P it
ſelt, and ever after continued in that leaning
poſture. |

Earls of Arundel and
Shrewsbury.

T was not long, after King WWiliam the Firſt
(commonly called the Congueror) had ſetled
himſelf here in the Royal Throne , but he

lixe his Wife , Daughtcr © to Twro!f of +30Nt-

eſs of Jloumandy, Great Grand-Mother to the
Conqueror 3 which ſtill doth manifeft the ſenſe
he had, as well of his Intereſt , as his AffeCtions
towards thoſe who were of his Alliance.

The firſt account 1 haye of this Roger ,.. 15,
That he was 4 Oximenſium Vicecomes : And, after
that, when © Geffrzy Mertel, Earl of injoi!, be-
ing a perſon of an Gepr'vah ſpirit, and proſperous
in his Military attempts upon his Neighbors, had
gotten the Calile of 4[encon, belonging to Yi
liam Dake of 3202MmanDy 3} which irritated
the Duke, that he forthwith laid ſiege * to the
Caſtle of Qanfront in [4njou. Geffrzy march-
ing * with no ſmall power to raiſe the ſame, the
Duke ſcut ® this Koger de Montgomery , and Wil-
liam Fitz-Osbern? (then Eoth gallant young men)
to diſcovcr his ſtrength 3 who meeting with the
Earl, and repreſenting * to him the _—_ and
reſolutions of their Duke 3 he furiouſly threat- |
ned k, that within a day or two he would mani-
felt to the World , that the valor of an Anjovin,
ſhould far ſurpaſs that of a Norman 3 arrogantly |
vaunting } what coloured Horſe he would ride
on, and what Enligns of Arms he would then

ticd ® Duke Wliam, and told * him the like of
his Horſe and Arms 3 and ſo returning, cncou-
raged ® their party to hght.

This Roger was ?, with other the cheit Men
of 420:1:1ndy, of Counſel with Duke William,
in order to his Invaſion of this Realm 3 and at-
tending him in that ſignal expcdition, led'4 the
middle part of his Army in. that memorable Bat-
tle *, wherein he bccame Victor, and thenceforth
King of Engiand,

After his Coronation ,- he went f with him
again into JNONandy, (viz. In Lert following )
and though he was deſigned Governor there,
when-the King ſhould be abſent 3 yct, being ad-
vertiſed * of ſome diſturbances like to be in C2:1f-
land from the Danes, aud diſcontentcd ſpirits
there 3 he brought % him” back upon his rcturn
(which was in December following, ) and tirlt ad-
vanced * him to the Earldom of C hyicheſter |
Arundel, and ſoon after to ? that of &ShyeEwe-
bury | Chicheſter and Arunoet being really
that of @uſſer 3 though the Earls of that Ter- | *
ritory arc uſually denominatcd of thoſe places, 'in_
regard of their Retidences thereat. | And'to |
theſe he alſo -added = the Honor of Eye in |
Suffolk.

The Character'® which Ordericus Vitalis gives |
of him, 15, That he-was a very prudent and *mo- |
derate Man , a great lover of Equity , and of |
diſcreet and modeſt Perſons. He had three |
Clergimen, by whoſe counſels he was always” |
proſperouſly guided z viz. Godebald, Odeler, and

he committed Þ to Warine the Bald, a Man of
ſmall ſtature , but of a great ſpirit 3 and gave
© him in marriage his Neice Aimeri4, By the
valor and skilful Condit of whom , he kept
d the Welſh in aw, and that whole Province in
Peace. The /other principal Perſons who were
© under him truſted and employed in his County

Noblemen, with purpoſe to have raiſed the ſaid
Curtboſe to the Royal Throne 3 and in order
thereto marched ® from &i2ews burp witch a
great power of the Welſh, and others, unto the
City of (UuQCelier , and* made great ſpoil
n there 3 but by the courage and reſolution of the
venerable Woljtan, then Biſhop, who was at thac
time in the Caſtle. a Sally ® was made 3 cheifly
by thoſe of the Biſhops retinue', which routed
P this Earl, with all the power he had at that

1 time there.

But ſo many, and fo potcnt,, were thoſe of
the Nobility, who then were againſt the King 3
that he ſecing his danger, gave out 4 that he
would eaſe them: of Taxes, alleviate the Laws,
and give them frce liberty . of Hunting : And
riding with this Earl ger, ſubtilly told * him,
That he would, moi willingly, quit the Govern-
ment, it he and thoſe others whom the late King
had aſſigned to be his Curators; ſhould think jt
belt. Adding ©, That they ſhould do what they
pleaſed, ſo that it were not Treaſon 3 with many
other {mooth expreſſions, wherewith this Earl
was ſo much captivated, that he thenceforth fell
r off trom the reſt of his own party. Where-
upon-the King fo expeditioully prevailed ® againſt
Odo, and the reſt of his then adherents, that all
of them ſoon after ſubmitted * or fled Y (as in
my diſcourſe of the ſaid Odo, Earl of Keitt »
will appear.) |

The Poſſefſions which this great Earl had in
Cng:and, were' of a vaſt extcnt, as appearcth
Z by the Conquerors Survey, by whoſe bounty he
enjoyed them, viz. In TUtitihire Three Lord-
ſhips, in BUrrey Four, ia Yantſhire Nine, in
Hiddleſer Eight, in CMmouagire Eleven,
in Þertfo2bſhire One, in + Olga
One, in CUozcefterſhire Two, in (Ularwick-

the whole Realm of Ennland too little tecom-
pence for ſo great and hazardous an adventure 3
and therefore obſcrving, that Robert Fitz-Hamon,
and thoſe Knights who aſſiſted him, hath ſped
ſo well by their attempts in Glamoz2ganſhire,
deſired Þ King William to grant them what they
could by power and force obtain from the Welſh.
Unto which requeſt ( conlidering that by thus
enlarging his Dominion, his Soveraignty and
Wealth, would conſequentiy be the greater ) he
readily-fented ©,, . Whereupon he cntred 4 [Dg-
wyfland , and won the Caſtle and Town of
25aldwfine , which he fortihed ©, and called
after his own name Yontgomery. So like-
wiſe * Cardigan, and did homage * for them
tothe King. |

There is this alſo farther memorable of him,
viz. That he built ® a ſtrong Caſtle at Sh2ews:
bury, upon that neck of Land ſituate betwixt
the ſtream of Severn, on cach fide ; which
River ſo admirably environcth all the rcſt of that
Bcautitul Town, as that it is now well defended
on cvery part.

And next, that he was a pcrſon of extraordi-
nary devotion to God tor he not only Found-
ed i, and moſt amply endowed that great Abbey
of S. Peter and Part in the Eaſtern Suburbs of
Shzewsburp, but alſo * three other Religious
Houſes in J202manDdy: One in the Suburb

of
the City of Dats 3 the ſecond ! at Croarng

upon the River OIve 3 and the third ® at d{-
manacha for Nuns.
He was alſo a great Benefactor " to that

| Abbey ot S, Stephens at Caen in J202mandy |

(Founded by the moſt famous King William the
Conqueror) giving ® thereunto certain Lands in
thoſe parts.

L So likewiſe toP the Abbey of Utica in No2-/
* mandy, as appears 4 by his Grant of the Lord-

ſhips of 'MYelleburne in 'Cambytdgſhire ,
@rhne (now called Dnne) and Yercſtan' in

Staftozdſhire, with one Hide of Land at |

Graphan. Likewiſe of * certain Lands at Cht-
cheſter , with the Tithes of Checſe and Wool
of JIulton 3 and Tithes of Senegay in
Camb:idgſhire.

Moreover to the Monks of S. Peter at Clunt
in 1BUrgundy , by his Grant f of | Chelton !:
And laſtly, by his Structure © of the Church at

He firſt took to Wite Mab-1 , Daughter Y and
Heir to William T alvace ( Son of Wiltim, Son of

THE BARONAGE

before his death; he wholly applicd ! himſeit to
divine Conference and devout Praycrs with the
relt of that Covent 3 and that he dicd * the Sixth
Kalcnds of Awgwſt, in the year of Chriflt 1094-
And was honorably buried ®* in the Church of
that Monaſtery. But others-ſay Þ, that he was
ain by the Weſh, between Cardift and |
P2ecknotk.

q Though Rob:rt, Sirnamcd de Beleſme, was
the Eldeſt Son of Earl Roger , lalt mentioned 3
yet, in rcſpe@, he had only that great Inhert-

tance by his Father and Mother, which lay in
J20mandy, and not thoſe Honors in CnQ- |
land till afterwards, I ſhall firſt ſpeak of Heb |
de Montgomery his younger Brother ©, becauſe he |
next ſucceeded in theſe Earldoms of Qrundel |
a1d S\Newsbury . whom the Welſh called '
4 Hrgb Goch, by reaſon of his Red Hair.

This Heh, in the life time of his Father, poſ-
ſeſſcd © the Mannor of C(UIrfeld in Stairo?D-
thire, He likewiſe was fin that Conſpiracy
with Robert de Molbray, and others , for the
murthcring of King Wi/l.um Rufus in j20)-
thumberland, having placed #8 divers armed |
Men in a Wood there, ot purpoſe to cite& their

the principal of them were brought to * con-
dign punithment 3. and othcrs to:ced * to open
the'r Purſcs tor regaining that Kings favor 3
amor g't which, this Hgb gave Three thouſand
pounds *. But of him I hnd nothing farther me-
morable, than that Action whercin he loſt his
lite, in A». 1098. ( 12 /Vil. Riff. )-which was
thus.

The Welſh growing powertul |, and commit-
ting many outrages ® upon the Marches 3 this
Eazl raiſing ® the power of SNopſhirc, joyn-
e&d * with Hugh , Earl of Cheſter, and. the
ſirength of that County, and marched P into
vangniefey, where they made moſt miſerable de-
ſtruction, and in a very barbarous and cruel
manncr , cutting 4 off the Hands and Feet of
ſome, the Privy Members of others, and putting

r out the Eyes of many 3 and among(t theſe they }-

took f one Ke-wred, a Pricit 3 by whoſe counſels
the Welk had been much guided in thoſe their
enterpriſes 3; and after * they had cut off his
Stones and his Tongue , they pulled ® out one
of his Eyes : But this horrid and ſavage deal-
ing, went not long, unrevenged 3 for within a
tew. days after, Magnus, King of $202wap ,
(Sou of Olaus, Son to H.irold Harfagar) having

Norweg1ans,

During which ſtay, it hapned that the Inha-
bitants thereabouts , diſcerned the Norwegians
near at hand, and in danger of landing, ran up

that as he ſatc thus on Horsback, he was ſhot by
an Arrow from one of their Ships, and falling
down into the Water (then flowing, loſt his lite.
Affftcr which, within few days his Body being
carried to Sh2ewgbury , was there buried in

in which Earl Hugh ( after he bad ſubjugated theſe
parts of TUales,_) having kennelled bs Dogs all
night, found them, every one, mad next morning 3
and that he himſelf died a miſerable death within a <
Monzth after : For hearing that certain Pirates were
com? to the Haven of this INlznd in Long-Boats, and
making haſt to oppoſs th:ir Landing. The principal
Commander of them, called Magnus, ft anding at
the fore end of the Boat, with a Bow in his band,
let flie an Arrow at our Earl, then armed Cap a Pe,
ſo that no entrance could be made, except through
his Helmet at the Sights for his Eyes; but ſo fatal-
ly was that Arrow diretied, that it paſſed throngh bis
Head-peice upon bis Right Eye, and piercing bis

younger Brother, theſe Earldoms ot Arundel

The firſt mention I find of this Robert,is in An,
1073. (which was in the Sixth of the Conque- Ar. 1073

much wrong done to his Norman SubjeQs by 7 Y,,; 1;

Howbeit, when Earl Roger his Father , fell off,

r from them upon the - fair promiſes of Rufas,
this his Son complied with an alſo 3 but go-
ing © ſoon after with Hexry Earl of Conſtance
into J202manDy 3 and Duke Robert hearing,
that he was thus reconciled to his Brother Rufus,
and by Oath obliged to him, taking counſcl
with Odo, Biſhop of Bayeur, betore they could:
a& any thing, he cauſed him to be ſeiſed on as
he came a ſhore, and committed him to cloſe
impriſonment. |

The news whereof being brought * to the
Earl his Father, he (by Licence from King WWi-

* liam Rufw ) haſts * into $202mandy, and man-

ned * all his Caſtles againſt Cxrthoſs, But hear-

. ing 7 that Cnrthiſe had good ſucceſs againſt ſome

others who were then in Arms, he made means
Z for a reconciliation, and for the enlargement ot
this Robert his Son 3 both which he accordingly
obtained ?.

Howbeit, notwithſtanding that accord, being
thus gct at liberty, (ſwelling * with revenge, he
ceaſed © not, upon all occaſions, to do the greateſt
miſcheif . he could 3 never being quiet, for the
full ſpace 9 of Fiftcen years, but mage him
ſundry ways, and ſeducing © others to do the
like.

The Character * of this Robert then given, is,
That he was a very ſubtil, crafty, and deceittul
Man 3 bigot Body, ſtrong, bold 3 powertul in
Arms, and Eloquent 3 but exceeding cruel, co-
vetous, and libidinous. A Perſon of great in-
ſight in ſcrious Affairs, and unwearied in his
managery of worldly buſineſs z likewiſe a moſt
ingenious Architect 3 but for inflicting of tor-
ments, a moſt inexorable Butcher : No Friend
at all to the Church , but a vile and wretched
Opprefſor. For which, his wickedneſs, he un-
derwent the Sentence 8 of Excommunication by
the Venerable Serlv , Biſhop of &BMts3 all his
Lands being interdifted ® , fo that there was no
Burial therein 3 yet nothing was he reformed by
any of theſe means. In brief, there can be no
higher cxpreſſions of the moſt barbarous and cruel
Tyrant that ever was, than is of him 5 his ſe-
verity being exerciſed i not only to ſtrangers, but
even to Friends and Familiars 3 glorying * and
making his boaſt amongſt his Paraſites of thoſe
his unparalle'd Inhumanities.

He was | Princeps Militie Regis IWillielmi Ruff ;

#d eſt, Genral of all th: Military Forces to King

William Rufus 3 and his cheif ArcKite& for the
ftructure ® of that Caſtle of ©1302S, upon the
Confines of J202mandy, oppoſite to Calyi-

—_

Uron the death of his Brother Hxgb, addreſs-
ing * himſelf to the King for his Earldom, he
gave ® Three thouſand pounds for the fame; and
was thereupon made ? Earl of Yrundel and
Shewsbury.

He removed 4 the Town of Quatfowd (near
Biulgge-Nozth in Shwpſhtre , where his
Father, Earl Roger, built the Church, as hat

been (aid 3 and built ” a ſtrong Caſtle at Bur "_

202th. He made claim f to the Honor of Bltthe
in Nottinghamſhire .as his right by Igheritanc
from Roger de Bairbley his Kinſman, which for 2

| great ſinm of Money he obtained* 3 and for' the
years was a grievous oppreſſor ® of

{pace of four
the Welſh, ©

And though he ſtood fair with William Rufus,
after that his reconciliation (as hath been ſaid)

th

yet upon his death he took * part with Robert
Curthoſe againſt King Herry the Firſt z conſþi-
ring * privatcly, with his two Brothers, Koger
of {PoIkoi and Armyiph ; as alſo, with William
Warren, Earl oft BUrrep, and others y -and at
length broke out with them in open Rebcllion
F apainlt that King.

| Curthoſe therefore to requite this his ſervice,
gave © him the Biſhoprick of Dat1s , \.with di-
vers Lands in J202mandy, promiſing more in
caſe he were King 3 and in order to that his

| deſign, landed ® at JPo2tfimouth, where he

tound a fair Reception of the Nobility of Eng-
land, who conducted © him to (Uinchefter 3
upon which, many that formerly made a ſpeci-
ous ſhew of adhering to King Henwry, then fcll
off, and entertained 4 Crrthoſe ; amongſt whom,
this Earl, Robert de Beleſme was © one, and Wul-
lam, Earl of SUrrep, another 3 who, that they
might have the fairer pretence for what they did,
made divers unreaſonable demands f from the
King 3 giving out, that they would deſert him,
in caſe he yielded not thereto.

But, notwithſtanding all this danger which {o
much threatned King Henry, he managed & his
bulineſs, in this great exigent, with ſuch pru-
dence, as,. that he came to a firm accord ® with
his Brother Curthoſe, viz. That Curthoſe quit-
ting all his right to England, ſhould receive
yearly Three thouſand poynds ſterling from
thence 3 and enjoy the Town of Conſtance
in 4262nanvy , with whatſoever elſe he did
there poſſeſs, excepting Oanirout. All which,
being thus concluded, (after two moneths enter-
tainment here) he returncd \.

Peace being theretore thus happily cſtabliihed
betwixt.them, the King deeming it requilite to
queſtion thoſe, who in his great neceſſity, . had ſo
baſely deſerted him: Amongſt others, as the
cheit, ſummoned * this Earl Robert de Beleſme to

t
an{wer the charge 3 whereupon Wiliam Warren

going into #202mandy to Carthoſe, and making
{ad complaint |, That for his ſake he had loſt

| his Earlddom, of Surrey, which was of Three

thouſand pounds yearly Revenue, and importu-
ning ® him to mediate with the King for reſtitu-
tion thereof 3 Crrthoſe on purpoſe came ® over
into England accordingly : But moving the
King therein, he upbraided ® him 'with the vio-
lation of that late peaceable agreement made be-
twixt them , in not bringing publick Traytors
to juſtice, and ſparing that ſeverity as was pro-
per to be exerciſed upon Turn-coats : Adding
P moreover, That he had, that very year, given
friendly Reception unto this Kobert de Heleſme,
and beſtowed on him his Fathers Pofſcthons ,
viz. The Caſtle of Argentotl, the Biſhoprick of
Dats, and the Foreſt of GHolfer:- Al which
miſcarriages, Crerthoſe replied , ſhould be as
mended. |
And having thus ſumtrioned this Robert de
Beleſme, he laid 4 no leſs than Forty five Tranſ+
greſſions, by-word or deed, to his charge.
Whereupon obtaining leave * to go to his
Counſel, for the better colour of his , in
great fear he fled * to his Caſtles; which being
made known to the King, be cauſed Proclama-
tion * to be publiſhed, That unleſs he did come in,
and ſubrvit to his Tryal, he ſhould forthwith be
adjudged” as a'Publick Enemy. But Robert well

« Perplex him, that being almoſt mad, he knew

The King therefore diſcerning his obſtinacy,
and being, well acquainted with the height of his
ſpirit, preſently raiſed forces 3 and in the fiſt
place laid fiege Y to his Caſtle at Arundel in
Siler.

But beſides this of Arundel, he manned * that
of B2ugge-J202th in Sh2opſhtre, ſtrengthen-
ing * it with a very large and high Wall, and
erectcd Þ a Chappcl therein (which in after time
was made © a Collegiate Church for a Dean, with
Six Prcbendarics, and dedicated to S. Mary Mag-
dalen.) Moreover, he fortified and manncd the
Town and Caſtleof SINEWsbury 3 as alſo that |
dat Wikhill in Po2kſhire, (part of the Honor
of Blithe , belonging to Roger de Buithley be-
forc-mentioned ) and with his Brother Arnulph
marched © into Staftowdſhire , committing
great ſpoil f in that Countrey.

He likewiſe began 8 the Building of another
Caltle-at Carracuve in (Uales; and brought
h a famous Race of Spaniſh Horſcs thither.

The King therectore/ diſcerning the flame of
Rebcllion thus kindlcd in fo many parts, lcaving
i x conliderable power to continue the Siege at
arundcl, for preventing any Succors which
might cofne thereto, marched * himſelt to
132unge-J202th, and (ent ) Robert , Biſhop of
Lincoine, to bcfiege Tikhill, Being come to
Bunge-J202th , he raiſed ® notable Works
againſt it 3 and framed * certain Military En-
gines for aſſault thereof , - ſtaying ® there three
weeks: And' having by private gitts corrupted
P thoſe of the IVelſh. of that Garriſon , in whom
this Rebcllious Earl did moſt conhde, whereof
Forwerth ap Blethin was the chcit 4, he obtained -
a Render * thercot. A,

Howbeit, this Earl dceeming it not £ ſafe to
truſt wholly to Garriſons, he lctt * Sh2ewgbury
to the care and charge of./K ogpr- the Son of Cor-
b:th, Robert de Nevil, and Vlger Groſvenour, un-
to whom he joyncd ® cighty Stipendary Soldiers 3
and making peace * with the Weſſh, allured:? to
his party, Cadzcan, and Gervatus, two of their
Kings ( Sons of Reſe,) by whom, with his own
Troops he trequently diſturbed * the Kings For-
CCS: But Wiliam Pantolf (a great Man in Sh20p-

thereupon received into the Kings tavor 3 having
d two hundred Soldiers ſcnt to his aid, and the
Governorthip oft Staffo2d Caſtle committed to

others, refilting 9 him alſo with his Counſels and
Arms, even to his utter deſtruction 3 but {6
wrought upon theſe 1Velhh Kings, by rewarls and

ritcd Earl, and- the render ©ot that his ſtrongeſt
Calle at 1B2URge-J202th, wherein he repoſed
molt confidence, coming to his cars, did ſo much

The King thercfore, diſcerning his advant-
ages,' commanded 8, That Sh2ewsbury ſhould

row abotit Malpas, and the Woods i thick,
wherein Archers lay, which annoyed the march-

point * Sixty thouſand Foot Soldiers, who were
then in that expedition, to cut down that Wood,

* toall the Kingdom imaginable, that they were
thus rid of ſo great a Tyrant, and ſuch a ſavage
Oppreſſor : For he was \ ſo ſtupendiouſly cruel, /ſ,,., ..
that he rather choſe to infli&&-miſerable torments «) *

Money for their Redemption. Which ſo much
heightned the Kings diſpleaſure towards him,
that he could not ® endure any of his Relations ,

Arnulph, (who were both wealthy Earls) to be
utterly extirpated *. Nay his whole Family was
ſo odious to him 3 that in Y regard Emme his »f

Son-in-Law Geffrey, Earl of Anjon 3 this Wil-
liam Talvace bcing, rtiuich ſuſpected * by the King,
to favor and abet the Earl of {Unzou againlt
him ; and for that cauſe divers times ſummon-
ed ® to come to his preſence, but refuſing , King
Henry ſeiſed Þ upon all his Lands and Honors:
Whereupon he fied to the ſaid Earl of Anjou,
and aftcr the dcath of King Hemry adhered to
him, having the title of * Earl of JIonthien,
as alſo of ! dats,
This Wiliam Talvace, by Ala his ® Wife,"
Daughter to Od», Duke of 15UrgunDy, had
Iſſue two Sons, Guy who was made ® Earl of
1Ionthieu in his Fathers life time, and ® Fobn
as alſo two Daughters, the one marricd P to
Fuhel, the Son of IValter de Meduana ; and the
other to 4/illiam,_ Earl Warren the Third 3 and

mafterwards to * Patrick, Earl of @altsbury.

I come laſtly to Koger of [Poictau, the Third
Son of the before mentioned Roger de Montgomery,

Earl of @2ewgbury: This Koger, firnamed |

Pictavienſis, id eſt, of JIoictall , becauſe * he

D. married a Wife of that County, had nothing * at

all of his Fathers Inheritance, but was a Military
Man : Whereupon, being, advanced to the title
'Earl, he lived * for a time in wealth and
> having the Earldom ? of Lancaſter,

pow

- and all that. part -* of «Lancaſhire which lieth

betwixt the Rivers of Ribble and Merſey, and
other great Poſſcilions, in that, and other Coun-
ties of the Conquerors gitt.

So that he became not only a good BenefaCtor
to the Abbey of @SMNewsburyp, (which was of
his Fathcrs Foundation, as I have already ſhew-
ed) by giving * thcreto the Churches of RIrke-
ham, Caleton *,and Bitcopcham <3 as alſo
the Lordſhips 4 of JIulton , Orciton, and
Biſcopcham, with the Fiſhing © of Thyele-
well (all in Lancaſhire) but was ſo liberal to
the Monks of S. Mirtins at Salts in France,
by. beſtowing f on them the Church of our Lady
at Lancaſter, with divers Lands belonging
thereto 3 as alſo the Churches of {eflen , with
the third part of the Lands in that Town 3 the
Churches of Cotgrave, Cropill, Wikelay,
Croſton the moity of the Church of Aicle-
ton 3 the Churches of BtDwell and Peſton,
with the whole. Tithes of that Pariſh 3 the
Churchcs of Mellinges and Boelton; the
Town of great Ocrneſle, as alfo of Pulton,
with the Church, and one Carucate of Land :
Thc Tithcs of his Veniſon and Paunage through-
out all his Woods 3 the Tithe of his Fiſhing, and
third draught of Fiſh taken with great Nets 3
the ſmall Tithecs of Eſtanebery , Salfo2t,
Derby , alas, Ewzeton , (aleton ,
Croſſeby , Molas , Croſton , - J32eſton,
Richby, Singleton, P2eſhoved, Piddel-
ton, Dverton,Scherton;Barr,Dtapleton,
and Iſelin $ That thoſe Monks thereupon efſta-
bliſhed a Cell of their own Order there, and an-
nexcd all the Lands and Churches ſo given by
this Earl thereunto 3 ſo that he may very well
be; accounted the Founder of that JP2102y-

"Alien, fo ſetled at Lancaſter. |
But taking *,part with his Brother Robert de

Beleſm?, Earl of StNewSbury, in that Rebel-
lion againſt King Henry the Firſt, on the betralf
of Kobert Curthoſe, he was baniſhed > England
for the ſame. After which , Henry, Duke of
No2mnandy, (Son to Maud the Empreſs) gave
all his Poſſeſſions unto Ranulpb (tirnamed Ger

nouns, Earl of Cheſter (as I ſhall more fully
ſhew, when I come to ſpeak of that Earl) which
were of a vaſt extent.

For beſides i all that part of Lancaſhire, 1y-
ing bctwixt the Rivers of Rtbble and £Herlep,
he had* ſo much more in that County, as made
up the number of an hundred fourſcore and
eight Mannors: As alſo! Seventy fix in PO2k-
ſhire, Three in Efſer, Fifty ninc in Sutfolk,
Eleven in J2ottinghamſhire , Seven in DOer-
biſhire, Ten in J202folk, and Forty fonr in
Lincolnſhire.

But of his Poſterity, other than one Daughter

| called m SD1bill, I have not feen, any thing,

Farls of Cheſter.

He firſt Earl of this County, after the

Norman Conqueſt , was * Gherbod a

Flemming , who, having undergone
d many difficulties, as well from the Engliſh, as
his troubleſome Neighbors the Welſh and be-
ing at length ſent © tor into Flanders by ſome
of his Friends, to whom he-had committed: the
managery of his affairs, rclating to his Hereditary
Honor in that Conntrcy, obtaincd licenſe 4 from
King Wiliam to go over thithcr, with purpoſe
to make a ſpeedy return : But it ſo hapned, thar
he there fcll into his Enemies hands, and was
reſtrained © by a long and hard impriſonment.

T King Wiliam therefore, upon this rece($
of Gh:rbod, gave * this Earldom of Cheſter
to Hugh de Abrincis, his Siſters * Son (Wife of
" Richard, ſirnamed Goz.) Which Hrgh being a
perſon of great note i at that time amongſt the
Norman Nobility, and an expert * Soldier, was
tor that reſpect, chcifly placed ſo near thoſe un-
conquered Britains , the better to reſtrain their
bold incurſions : For my Author faith 1, It was
conhilio prudentum, by the advice of bis Connetl,
that King Wiliam thus advanced him to that
Government 3 his power being, alſo not ordina-
ry , for he had Royal Juriſdiction within the
Precincts of this Earldom, it being given ® him,
Tenere ita libere ad Gladium, ficut ipſs Rex tenebat
Angliam per Coronam. To hold as freely by the
Sword, as ths King himſelf hel4 England by the
Crown, But though the time of this his advance-

, ment was ® not till the year 1070. ( 4 Will,

Cong. Gherbod then ® departing hence} certain it
is, that he firſt came P into England with
the Conqueror, and thereupon had (Uhitby in
Pozkſhire beſtowed 4. upon him, which he
ſoon after diſpoſed T to. William de Percy , his
aſſociate in that famous expedition.

During the Conquerors Reign, Lhave not ſeen
any farther mention of this Earl Hugh , then
that he'was a witneſs ©-with moſt of the Biſhops
and great Men of the Realm , unto that Kings
Charter of Confirmation made to the Monks of
S. Edmunds-Bury in Suffolk , Pridi? Kal.
Funii, An.1p81. (14 Cong. ) whereby he ratified
to that Monaſtery, the Conceſſions of King
Edmund, Canutws, Hardy-Canutws, and Edward
the Conteſſor, amongſt which, he is ranked * in
the {ecord place, viz. Next unto Roger de Mont-
gomery, then Earl of S1Newsbury.

of Mo2way, made an attempt on that Iſle,” in-
reſiſtance of whom the Earl of @h2ewgbury
loſt * his life. |

After the death of which King , this Earl
Huzh grew in much eſteem with King Henry the
Firſt, being | one of his cheit Counſellors. He
was " a fat Man, and therefore called Hugh UV-
r# by the Welſh. :

It is reported ", that there being in the Iſle
of Angletey a Stone (much like in ſhape to the
Thigh of a Man) of that vertue, that whether-
ſocver it is removed, it will the next night fol-
lowing, return to its old place , as by the Inha-
bitants. thercabouts hath been frequently ob-
ſerved 3 and that though this Earl , upon his
invaſion of the Iſle, in the timevgt King Henry
the Firlt, hearing of its property, cauſed it to be
faſincd unto another Stone of great magnitude,
with a ſtrong Chain. of Iron, and thrown into
the Sca 3 yet, that the next morning it was
found in its old place again , to the wonder of
many : And therefore by a publick Proclamation
he prohibited, that thencetorth none ſhould pre-
ſume to remove it again.

Morcovcr in an ancient BritjÞ Manuſcript ,
containing, the life and aCtions of Griffin, the Son
of Conan , Prince of J?2MLHh CClalcs, it is rc-
ordcd ®, that a ſervant of Griffin ( called Marian
lhe Ked ) did bctray him to this Earl Hugh, un-
der colour of having ſome Contercnce with him
at IKUe 3 infomuch, as the Prince, ſuſpeRing
nothing, had but a flendcr attendance, was car-
ried priſoner to Wi): And that, after he
had bcen many years kept there in Bonds, the
Earl landed an Army in ANgLEieY 3 and by hre
and (word waſting it , ſu
there to his Government. Morcover , to the
end he might the better keep what he had thus
got, that he built two Caſtles, one in the Iſle,
the other in Arvon , which he manned with
Soldicrs. Likewiſe , that ſometime after, one
Cynaric Hir, an Inhabitant of Pule, (who had
formerly ſerved Prince Griffin, and was well
known to-him) came to Whiſker, with ſome
neceſlaries for him 3 any] finding him tied jn a
Chain of Iron , went to him at Supper time ,
whilclt his Keepers were at meat 3 and carried
him away on his ſhoulders, no notice being taken
thereof. © The Prince having thus cſcaped, raiſed
Forces ( great confluence of people coming to
him) and recovercd his Poſſcihons again.

This Earl Hzgh rcbwilt P the Caltle of De-
nanwy, ncar Conway, But his death ſhortly
after approaching, , ſo that his farther Secular
Imployments werc at an cnd, TI {hall now take
notice ot his Pious works.

He was the Founder 4of the Abbey of S. Se-
verus,, in J20mandy, within the Dioceſs of
Conſtance 3 and afterwards of that * at
Cheſter hcre in England , dedicated to S.
IWerburge, where, in the room of Canons Se-
cular, he plantcd { Monks and cndowed * them
with ample Poſſciſions. Richard,a Monk of Bec,
in $2020}andp, being brought ® over by An-
ſelme, Abbot of that Monaltery ( afterwards
Archbithop of Canterbury) and made the firſt
Abbot there.

To the Abbey of Bec, in J2o2mandy, he
gave * the Lordſhip of Atherſton in WUlar-
wickſhire, To the Abbey of m—_— in
Pozkſhire, the ? Church of S. Peter at (Uh

ed the Inhabitants-

by, and the * Chuxch of Flemesburgh (id
ef, Flambozough) in pure Alms. And * to
the Monaſtery of CItICa, in

20mandy, one
Hide of Land in Little Ptandenton (now
| called JAtllerton ) in COR ire, with

the Tithcs of that place 3 as alſo the Tithes of
DSanley in Buckinghamſhire. |

In his youth and flouriſhing age, he was a
b preat lover of Worldly Pleaſures, and Secular

Pomp 3 profuſe in giving, and much delighted 4

with Entcrludes,, Jeſters, Horſes , Dogs, and
other like Vanities 3 having © a large attendance
of ſuch perſons, of all ſorts, as were diſpoſed to
thoſe ſports : But he had 4 alfo in his family,
both Clerks and Soldiers, who were Mcn of
great Honor, the vencrable Anſelm? (Abbot of
"BLC, and afterwards Archbiſhop of Canter-
bury) being his © Confeſſor : Nay, ſo devout he
grew before his death 3 that, ſickneſs * hanging
long upon him, he cauſed himſelf to be ſhorn a
# Monk in the Abbey of S, Werburge > where,
within three days after, ( viz. 6 Kal. Ang. An.
Iior ( 1 Hen. 1, ) he died *, leaving Iſſue by
! Ermentrude his Wife, Daughter of Hwghb de
Cleremont, one only Son named Richard, then
« ſeven years of age : Which Richard ſucceeded
him in this Earldom of Cheſter, ( and | by his
Concubines divers Children, both Sons and
Daughters ) and was buried ® in the Chapter-
Houſe therc.
But of thoſe Illegitimate Children, I find only
mention of two, viz. Otwel, Tutor ® to thoſe
Children of King Henry the Firſt, which periſh-
cd ® by Shipwrack 3 and Robert, firſt a Monk? in
the Abbey of S. Ebr«/f at CItiCa in JNozmandp,
and afterwards Abbot 4 of S. EdmUunds-Bury
in Sunol(k.
'* Though the Hiſtorians of that age do make
no mention of any other of his Children, moſt
certain it is, that he had a Daughter called Geva,
who became the Wife * of Geffrey Kidell, an
eminent Man in thoſe days ( viz. Juſtice of
England, under King Henry the Furſt) as I
have elſwhere ſhewed : Nor can her kegitimacy

"be doubted 3, for it is evident, that ſhe had the

Lordſhip of Otatton ( now called Drmatton-
Baſſet ) in Com. Staff. given * her in Frank-
marriage by this Earl, her Father, which could
not have beea ſo beſtowed on a Baſtard, as our
Learned Lawyers do clearly affirm. |

That this great Earl had vaſt Poſſcſſons here
in England, of the Conquerors gift , doth e-

vidently appear * by the number of Lordſhips

he held at the time of the General Survey 3 for
beſides all Cheſhire, excepting what then be-
—_— the Biſhop (which was not much) he
had in Berkſhire Nine, in Devonſhire Two,
in Pozkſhire Scven, in CUtitſhire Six , in
Douſetſhire Ten, in Somerſetſhire Four ,
in Suffolk Thirty two, in J2ozfolk Twelve,
in Hantſhire One, in Drfordlhire Five, in
Lngry Three, in-Gloceſterſhire
Four, i IUuntindonſhire Two, in J2otttn-
ghamſhire Four, in TWarwickſhire One ,
and in Leiceſterſhire Twenty cwo. |
And that divers eminent Men were his Barons,
is certain enough from the words of his Charter *,
whereby: he Founded and Endowed the Abbey
of S. Werburge at Chefter , viz. —Hec ſunt

But it is reported f , that through the inſtiga-

Salmon taken at the Bridge 3 as allo the place for

which he claimed as his Hereditary Right, and
did him homage for it 3 it being then ſaid, That
inſtcad of Carifeol, he ſhould have the-Honor
of Lancaſter 3 and that his Son ſhould marry

days before.

I V. That he ſhould aſſiſt Earl Rawwlph againſt
all Men, excepting the King, and Earl S:mon 3
yea, againſt Earl Simon alſo, in caſe, that he do
Earl Kanwiph any wrong, and not make recom-
pence for it, upon requeſt made by the Earl of
Leiceſter. |

V. That he ſhould do his utmoſt to defend
all the Earl of Theſters Lands and Pofſciſions,
which were within his power.

V I. Moreover, that Raunſfon Caſtle ſhould
be demoliſhed , unleſs Earl Ranuiph ſhould be
otherwiſe content. And if any perſon ſhould
hold that Caftle againſt the Earl of Leiceſter,
Earl Ramnulph to give his real aſſiſtance for the
deſtroying it.

V II. That if Ear! Ranylph ſhould have
cauſe of Action againſt 1Villiam de Alncto, the
Earl of Le!Ceer ſhould bring him to tryal in
his Court, ſo long as he ſhould hold any Lands
of him. And in caſe the ſaid Wilizam ſhall re-
cede from his. fidelity unto the 'Earl of Let- -
cefer, for demoliſhing that Caſtle 3 or, for
bringing him to ſuch Tryal in his Court, Earl
Ranulph not to- give Wiliam de Alneto any pro-
teQion. | | |

By this Accord alfo, the Earl of Leiceſter
was to have the Caſtle of TUtewic ( be-
longing to Earl Ranxlþh) fortified.

T The like Covenants were on the part of
Earl Ranulph unto the Earl of Leiceſter 3 and
that he ſhould 4ſſiſt him againſt all men, excepr
the King, and Robert, Earl Ferrers, Alſo as to
the razing of Raunſton Caſtle, if any one
thould hold it againſt the Farl of Leiceſter.

q Furthermore, it was agreed, That neither

| of them ſhould eret any new Caſtle betwixt

Dinkley and Coventreys nor berwixt Pink-
ley and Dacareſhul , nor betwixt Coven-
trey and Donington , nor betwixt Dontng:-
ton and Leiceſter , nor at Gateham, nor at
Kinolton, nor nearer : Nor betwixt Kinol-

of both. Likewiſe, That if any man thould ere
a Caſtle in hoeplces/ or within thoſe Pre-
cin&ts, each to aſſiſt 6ther for the. demoliſhing
it. ;

And for the better obſervance of this Accord,
they engaged. themſelves each to other by Oath,

TUatteley, to hold by the Service of two
Knights Fees.

Having, now done with his Secular Actions, I
come laſtly to his Works of Piety, which: were
great and many.

He was the devout Founder ® of a Monaſtery
for' Ciſtercian Monks, in a place called 14D
mo2e, within the Foreſt of © 04440 in Staf-
fowſhire 5 which aftcrwards, for exchange of
thoſe Lands whercwith it was endowed, King
Henry the Sccond, with Mand the Empreſ$\(his
Mother) tranſlated * co Stonely, in (Ciarwick-

ire,

Y He was alſo Founder i of the Priory of *Zr-nt-
ham in Stafto2Tlhire, for Canons Regular of
S. Anguitines Order.

To the Monks of S. Werburge at Lhefier,
he granted *, that their Fairs and Markcts there,
ſhould be held at the Gate of their Abbey. And

|

,
|
|

.

moreover, gave * unto them the Tenth of all his |

Rents in that City of Theſis, As alſo, the |

I Tithcs of all his Mills there, and of his Mill at
Lreke in Statts ſhire 3 and likewiſe, the
" Lordſhips of Eſtham and Bytunnevurgi)

* in perpetual Alms, for ſatisfa&tion of what in-

jurics he had ever done them.

To the Nuns at Cheſter , he gave® certain
Crofts which Hugh Fitz-Oliver then held of
him.

To the Abbey of Geroudon in Leiceſter:
(hire, he gave® the Mannor of 'BAaroaw in that
County. |

To the Monks of Louth-JZark in Lincoln-
ſhire, he gave ?Landsin Tetteney. ;

To the Monks of S. Peters at Olaceſter 1,
Forty pounds yearly Rent out of his, Mill at
Diney. | |

To the" Abbey of Sh2ewsburv, two Houſes

in & hind2ed (Citche, and as much Salt as they |

could there make, without Toll. |

To the © Nuns of QL.farkenwell (near Lon
Don ) divers Lands, expreſſed within Meets
and Bounds & lying beyond the Bridge at
CTheſtir. |

To the * Monks of Baſingtverke in Flint:
ſhire, One hundred ſhillings yearly Rent of his
Rents at Cheſter 3 likewiſe » t)al[tweit and
Full 2ake, and the Chappel of Baſingwcr e,
* which they at firſt were ſeated, with the Mills
tnCcre.

\ To * the Canons of S. Auguſtine at Byiſtol,
he gave the Mannor of F1thive in Ooret-
ſhire ; and Y the Churches of S. Leonard, S.
Nichols, and Alballows, within the Town of
Palo.

To * the Canons of ©. Auguſtine at Leiceſter,
two Carucates of Land in IKoely, with a Mea-
dow adjoyning 3 as alſo ® the Church of 1Ba-
row , with the Chappel of Querndon , and

one Carucate of Land in 1BArow and Quern:
Don,

To the Þ Knights Hoſpitalars of S. Foh# of |

Jeruſalem, one Mcfſuage, and one Acre of
Land in Frodcſham , with the Church of
Colkesby. |

And to © the Nuns of SttkeſwouldD in Lin-
colinſhire , one Carucate and two Bovatcs of
Land in BareSfon, __

To the Monks of COoventrey, he gave li-
berty to have two Carts, going to and fro twice

every day, excepting Feltivals, into his Woods, |

to fetch thence whatſoever they ſhould need,

cither in relation tothe repair of their Buildings;
Fewcl 'for their Fixe, or Trouſe for thcir
Hedges. r .11 |

And departed * this life the 17 Kal.-of an:
An.1153i(18 Steph.) * being poyſoned by Wiliam
Peverel, and others, as it was ſuſpected ( for
which crime, Perverel was diſherited 8 by my
Henry the Second, foon after) and was buric
b near his Father ( ſci: in the Chapter-houſe of
the Abbey. of S. Werburge at Eieſter, He was

i a perſon of extraordinary valor, and undanted

courage and * though he favored the Cauſe of
Duke Henry, he did little for him 3 but for King
Stepbex nothing at all. |

Some great injury , it ſhould ſeem, he had
done to Walter Durdent, Biſhop of Wheſter,
and \to the Church 3 for which he died | excom-
municate : For I hnd, that Earl Heh his Son,
with Mand his Widow , gave ® the Town of
Sctvicvale, near Cover trev 3 - with a Mill
next to the Park, and ſome Gronnds there-
abouts, to that Biſhop and his Sneceſlors for his
Abſolution, and the health of his Soul, in re-
compence thereof. Which Maud was Daughter
n of Robert Conſul, Eax] of Glocclier , and
Foundreſs ® of the Priory of Repandiin (Ve.
E.epton) in Ocrb:ſhire by whom he left
Iſſae, two Sons, P Hugh and Kichard, and ſur-
viving him in 32 Hey.2. held 4 the Lordſhip of.
CULUbL!titet! in Dowry.

q To this laſt Earl Ranrlph, ſucceeded Hugh,
ſirnamcd Keveliok,, (or rather, in Merionity, -
ſhire. * Cyrelioc, of that Countrey in JIOwps,
whercin he was born) his: cldeſt Son, of whoſe
Actions. the firſt mention I find, is, That m
10 Hzn. 2. he was * one of thoſe Temporal
Lords who came to an accord with the King
tor their ancient Rights and Liberties : And
after this, that bing for ſome juſt and probable

, Cauſes diſherited * by King Hgnry the Second, he

joyned * with the King of Scots, the Earl of
L eiceſter, and others, in their Rebcllion at that

timez taking * part with young King Henry ?

( whom the King had Crowned. ) The true
cauſe Y of that their Inſurrection, being for that
the King had endeavored to reſtrain the Inſo-
lencies and Oppreſſions at that time exerciſed
by the great Men 3 which he did by * demoliſh-
ing _ Caſtles, or taking them into his own
hands. | |

The iſſue whereof was , that this Earl, with

| the EarFof Leiceſter , and the King of Scots,

their Abettor, was taken * at Alnwick ; But
the young King, being (ere long) reconciled Þ to
his Father, they were enlarged 3 for it is evident;
that the year following , they broke out a freſh,
both in England and France 3; and that this
Hugh was one of 'the moſt forward, bas,
© the greateſt part of B2I[tanny into his power :
At which time, the King being at Roan, ſent
Forces thither, which gave them Battle, and
ſcattered all their power 3 inſomuch, as he was
conſtrained to betake © himſelf unto the Caſtle of
Dole 2 Whereof the King having notice, he

preſently marched *f jn perſon thither, and be-

girt itz ſo that the beſieged. diſcerning their
condition, were glad to render ®it , and put
themſelves upon mercy: Whereupon this Earl,
and divers more, were ſent priſoners ® to Falret(e
in J202mandy, and thence brought i over into
England ; where, being put in ſafe * cuſtody,
he continued till the Kings return into J201-

For which Signal Service, the King gave him th:
Body of Gilbert de Gant, his Enemy, with all his
Poſſeſtions. Which Gilbert ws a great Baron, and
Founder of Laudep Abbey in Kxeſteven,

Thus far my Author.

And after the {olemnity of the Kings Coro-
nation was over, beftirred himſelf with all car-
neſineſs againſt the Rebellious Barons 3 firſt * in
the ſiege of WYountlozell! in Leiceſterſhire,
and afterwards at Lincoin *, the Caſtle where-
of was then beleaguered by a great ſtrength of
Barons 3 which in that notable Battle there were
utterly vanquiſhed i, In that year he had * the
Farldom of Lincoln conferred upon him, (Gi/-
bert de Gant being, ſet aſide, in regard of his Re-
bellion.) unto which Honor the Record ! implics,
That he had an Hereditary Right from Lucia,
his Great Grand- Mother z for ſhe had the title
of Comitiſſa Lincolnie, He had alſo the cuſtody
m of, the Honor of Lancaſter , likewiſe of the
Caltle of * QJountſozell , which he himſelf
® took and demoliſhed P.

The next year following, he had 4 the Honor
of B2ttanny, in the Counties of Cambaidge,
Mozfolk, and Suffolk, committed to him.
And then ſecing the troubles in England were
well quicted (in which work he had been fo hap-
pily inſtrumental ) he again took * upon him
the Croſs for another Voyage to the Holy Land,
with divers more of the Engliſh Nobility: And
before he ſet forwards on that journey, granted
to his Barons of Cheſhire, (at their requeſt) a

moſt ample Charter * of Libertics, in which are |

many obſervable things 3 amongſt others, that
they ſhould have a free Court , wherein they
might hold Plea of all things, as in his own
Court 3 Exceptis placitis ad Gladium meum perti-
nentibus (are the words) Excepting the Pleas be-
longing to his Sword, Which Pleadings were of
the Gd nature, as thoſe in all other parts of
Engiand , called Pleas of the Crown : For in
all Inditments for Felony, Treſpaſs, &c. where-
as they are in all other parts of England, ſaid
to be Contra Pacem Domini Regis Coronam &- dig-
nitates ſuas z they there run thus, Contra pacem Do-
mini Comitis, Gladium & dignitates ſuas : The rea-
ſon whereof I conceive to be, for that the firſt Ear]
Palatine, viz. Hugh, (commonly called Lupus ) of
whom I] have already ſpoke, had the County of
C he ſter, given him by the Conqueror, Tenere ita
libere ad Gladinm ficut ipſe Willielmus Rex tenebat
Angliam per Coronam. '

Being in the Holy Land, he was * at that fa-
mous licge of Damieta, Ubi Dux Chiſtiane Co-
bortis preſtitit glorioſa, ſaith ® Henry, Archdeacon |
of Puntendon', Where being General of the
Chriftian Army, be did gloriow things;

Upon his return thence, when he-was at Sea,
there hapning s dreadful ſtorm, (as the ſame
Author affirmeth) he asked the Marriners, How
long it was then to midnight ? and they told him,
It was almoſt tro hours, Said he then, Labor till
that time, and I truſt to God the tempeſt will ceaſe,

But, when midnight approached, the tempeſt in- |.

creaſed ſo much , that the Maſter of the Ship
bad him commend himſelf to God 3 for they
were all keto periſh : Whercupon he w t
of his Cabin, - and ſtoutly athſting them , the

tempeſt ſoon aſſwaged. The day tollowing there-

fore, when the Seas were calm, and the danger
clearly over, the Maſter asked him, Why be would
not ſtir to aſſiſt them till midnight , telling him, That

| bis help was then more than all the Marriners in the
Ship. Quoth he, Becauſe my Monks, and oth:r de-
vort le, who are of mins , and my Anceſtors
Foundation , did then riſ* to ſing Divine Service
For that reaſon therefore, did I put confidence ia their
Prayers, and therefore, my hope ir, that God Al-
mighty for th-ir Prayers and Sufiragzs, would give
me ſuch firength #s I bad not b-fore, and aſſw.2g2 the
tempt, as 1 forztold.

So ſoon as he returned * from this journey ,
which was Y about the Calends of April, Ar.
1220. (4 Hen. 3.) he bepan * the ſtruture of
Chartiey Caltle- in @taffo2oſhire , and
Beeſton Caſtle in Cheſhire 3 and likewiſc,
the Abbey of Oculatres for White Monks,
near Leck in Dtaffo2dſhire 3 which Monattery
he had been incited ſo to found (as faith * my
Author ) by the ghoſt of Eat] R annlph his
Grand-Father, which appearcd to him one night
when he was in Bed , and bad him go to a
place called Cholpeſdale (within the Territory
of £cek ) and there he ſhould hnd a certain
Chappe, antiently built in-honor of the Blefſed
Virgin, and found an Abbey of White Monks,
and endow it, adding, . There ſhall be joy to thee,
and many others, *who ſhall be ſaved thereby : For
therz, quoth he, ſhall be a Ladder er:fed, by which
the Prayers of Angels ſhall aſtend and deſcend ,
and vows of Men ſhall bz offzred to God, and th:y
ſhall give thanks, and the name of our Lord ſhall be
called upox in that place, by daily Frayers \, and
the fign of this ſhall be, when the Pope doth inter-
dici England : Brut do thou, in the mean time
y tothe Monks of PUIlton, where Robert Biicler

ath in my name built an Abbey, and thou ſhalt
there be partaker of the Sacrament of the Lord ;, for
ſuch Priviledges belong to the ſervants of the Found-
ers. And in the Seventh year of that Interdidt ,
thou ſhalt tranſlate thiſe Monks to the place T have
foretold, Which Relation being made unto the
Lady Clemencia his Wite, ſhe faid in French,

mcrly had by the gitt of King John , to hold

could obtain ſo much Juſtice trom the King of

in J2onnandy, which be loſt in the ſervice of

In 13 Hz»y. 3. he had a Confirmation 1from

Wapcntake of Salfoz , and Wapentake of
I.aM101D, in the ſame County 3 with all Foreſts,
Hays, Homages, and other the Appurtcnanccs.

Ot this ſtout Earl I farthcr find , that in

the Tenths from the Biſhops, and all Rcligions

being troubled with it, commanded be ſhould be ex-
pelled bis Dominion z who is now, ſaith he, become |
a great enemy to us 3 becauſe their ſufſr ages, together
with others, hath rel:aſed many Souls from Purgatory.

His Body was buricd ® at Cheſter, but his
Heart at the Abbey of Deulacres , ſo by him
Founded as hath been obſerved.

wen, Of whoſe death, fo ſoon as news brought ® to
nj Me" Hubert de Burgh the Meſſenger telling him ® that
? one of his chcifelt Encmics was deceaſed : He
P fetched a great ſigh, and ſaid, God have mercy or:
his Soxl and, being then faſting, called for his
P[alter, as he ſtood before the Croſs, and ceaſed
not till he had ſung it all over for the health
thereof, But this Earl left 4 no ifſue , which
ſome then thought * to be a judgment of God
upon him for putting away his firſt Wite.

But Clemencia, his ſecond Wife; ſurvived him 3

and in the ſame year that he dicd , had Livery
ſ of the Mannors of Bemington and. Lim-
berg, in Lincolnſhire, which were * given to
her in marriage 34 as alſo of ” all the Lands,
Rents, and Services, which Bertrice , ſornetime
Counteſs of Cheſter, had in the Lordſhips of
D CUadington, J202mandy, Sentfozd, ©OUu-
a nynton, and iauteburgh, in the ſame Coun-

%; Kepton) in Com. Derb. which were affigned to
- her by the King for her Dowry.
a, The names of his four Siſters, and their Hus-
bands, I have already mentioned 3 but now, in-
(much, as all his Poſſeſhons ( which were very
great) came to them, or their Deſcendants, as his
Heirs , I muſt ſay ſomething more as to the di-
viding, thereof amongſt them. 2

Ot Maxd the eldeſt, Wife * to David, Earlof

Scots ) deſcended Fohn, ſirnamed Scot, Succefſor
Y-to this Ranxlph in the Earldom of Cheltet 3
who had for his part * (Maxd his Mother being
then dead) the whole County of Cheſter, and
the Advowſon of the Priory of Coventrep.

But Mabel the Second, who married to W3/-

d to this Earldom of R1ichmund ( it having
been © the Honor of Earl Edwyne, of whom I
have already ſpoke, under the title of Merctu)
having therewith all that Northern part of the

in marriage to Rollo, his Lineal Anceſtor 3 but
gave ! him rather cauſe of provocation.

After his Poſſeſſion of this Earldom of Rith-
mund, he began ® the Building of a ſtrong m / Monat,
Caſtle and Fort near unto his capital Manſion at =,
Cilttng, for the better ſafcguard ® of himſelf, p Us. ?
and his Tcnants in that part of the Countrey ,

Dil 3 it being ficuate P upon the higheſt, molt
defenſible, and pleaſant place of all that Territory,
the ſwift River Swale running at the skirt
thereof, and half encompaſſing it.

Having faid thus much touching his firſt com-
ing into England, and ſerling here 3 -I ſhall
conclude with his Works of Piety, which were
not few, nor ſlender.

He was the devout and firſt beginner 1 of the #1
Foundation ( or rather reſtorer ) of that great
Abbey of S. Maries in P62k 4 giving * thereunz
to the Church of S. Olave and Borough Cf, where-
in the ſame Monaſtery was fituate in the Suburb
of that City, from Galinon to Clifton, to-
wards the River of Dw(el, (in which, it was
more commodiouſly {cated than at Lefitngham )
with nine Carucates and an half of Land lying
in Cliiton , rendring * the Advowſon thereof
into the hands of that King, to the end he might
be the perpetual Patron of it. Moreover he gave
u thereto the Churches of CAterick and Rich:
mundo, and the Chappel of his Caſtle there ,
with the Tithes of all his Demeſne Lands be-
longing unto it 3 and. likewiſe thoroughout all
WO:RiYITL 5 as alſo the Church of S. Dotolph
in Dolland, and Town* of Sutton near un-
to. It.

And laſtly, unto the Abbey of S. Sergizs and
Bacchus in 34202Mandy , he-gave ? the Church
of >waviſey in Cambavgeſhire, with the
Tithes of that place, and likewiſe the Tithes of
WSercyum, japws:th, (Utmpoie, Cotte,
and Beche ; "which place of Swaveſey, be-
_ afterwards a Cell to that Foreign Mona-

ery,

Add hereunto what the Monk of Utica ex-
prefſeth * of him. He was everſtudious for Peace,
a great lover of the Poor, an eſpecial honorer of the
Religious , and that his death, without Iſſue, occa-
fioned no little ſadneſſ to all good People,

he goes on thus —— Againſt whom #4 it that we

Affer the death of this Geffrey, Conftexce his |
Widow was given * in marriage to Rannulph,
" Earl of Cheſter, (as hath bcen before expreſt)
whom he enjoyed both theſe Honors of-
B2itanny and KichmunD, Bur ſhe forſaking
him (as hath been (aid) Arthur her Son, having
been honored ® with Knighthood by Philip, King
of France, in Az. 1199. the year following
did homage ® to King Fobn for this Earldom of
Bitanny, it being of the Fee of the Dutchy

of J202mandp. Notwithſtanding which, King

Fobn detained © from him all his Lands in J20)-
mandy, Turon, Anjout, and Polttou
whereupon, the King of France taking occa-
fion to quarrel with King Fobn, required reſti-
tution of them to Arthur, but without ſucceſs ,
inſomuch, as War enſuing betwixt them, the
French had the worſt, After which, King Fobn
ſent for his Nephew "Arthur to Faleile , and
Aattering him with fair words, promiſed him
great Honors , it he would deſert the King of
France.and adhere faithfully to him.as his Leig-
Lord and Uncle : But Arthur, who knew himſelf
to be the Son of King Fohns elder Brother (viz.
Geffrey, Duke of Batanny and Richmund,
beforementioned) anſwered him with indigna-
tion 3 requiring, That he would make reſtitution
to him ot the Kingdom of England , and all
other the Lands which King Richard his Uncle
had in Poſſcſion, upon the day of his death 3
Vowing, That if he did not do it ſpcedily, he
ſhould not be at Peace. Which expreſhons ſo much
awakened King Fob , that he forthwith com-
wmanded 4 his Nephew Arthur ſhould be ſent to
Roan, and there ftraitly impriſoned in the new
Tower 3 where he had not long been, but for
fear leſt the great Men of England ſhould ad-
here to him, as being the next and rightful Heir
to the Crown, he cauſed him to be murthered
© by the hands of Peter de Mauley, one of his
Eſquiresz unto whom, for the reward of that
wicked ſervice, he gave the Heir of the Barony
of Mulgreve to Wite.

As to the manner of his death, it is ſaid *, That
paſſing, from one Ship to another, to go into
Engiand, as a priſoner, a Marriner laid a
Plank in ſuch a fort, that as ſoon as hetrode up-
on.it, he fell into the Sea, and was drowned.
Having thus given an account of this Earl-
doms Succeſſion from Alan the firſt, to p
the laſt of the ancient Earls, whoſe ſole Daugh-
ter and Heir Conſtance, firſt took to Husband
Geffrey, , Fourth Son 'to King Herry the Second :
As alſo of the Murther of 4r:bxr, her only Son,
who had no iſſue 3 and that ſhe afterwards mar-

ricd to Rauwlpb, Earl of Cheſter , who in her

right. enjoyed it. I ſhall now obſerve, that this

Conſtance, being at length divorced 8 from Earl
pb, by reaſon _— married * hſtly

to Guy de Toarche,and had ifſuc i by him a Daugh-
- ter, called Alice who, after the death of her

Parents , remaining * in Ward to the King of
France, was by cat King given * in marriage
to Sir Peter Mazcdere (a Knight of his ) with
Bzitantiy, and what cle was of her Inheri-

To
Not long after which, King Jobx being high-

who had extorted from him the two notable
Charters of their Libertics , called Magnz Carts,

in Seventeenth of His Reign 3 upon his xeceſs

bear date 15 Jani,

this Peter, bearing date at Warham (in Com.
Dor.) 12 Ang, next enſuing, in which he calls
him Earl of Battanny, did tignihe, That in
caſe he would come into Engtand, he would
reſtore unto him the Honor of Richmund ,
with its Appurtenances, as appertaining to his
faid Earldom of BMAtannp 3 and thereupon,

ſpeed, well furniſhed with Horſe and Arms ; as
alſo to bring with him what power he could raiſe
for his aid 3 and to do his homage, with what
ſervice, otherwiſe, he ought to perform.
Whereapon he came?, and had Livery 4 of
all the Lands pertaining to that Honor, in right
of his ſaid Wife. And not long after that, viz,
in 3 Hen. 3. agreed , That *the King ſhould.
thencetorth have of the Knights Fees belonging
thereto, Thirty on the South of PURAIVET, Fuck
as he ſhould chuſe.
After which, that King became fo cordial to
him 3 as that, in 14 of His Reign, he did by his
Letters Patents declare , That fo long as the
Wars with the Frexcb ſhould continue, he would
aſhft him (giving him, by thoſe his Letters, the
title of Duke of BAtanny, and Earl of 3Xic};-
mund ). with Four hundred Knights, and One
hundred Servants on Horsback, of which number
One hundred to be of his own Knights 3 as alſo
- that he would give him pay for Three hundred
Knights, and an Hundred Servants more; and
for 955 appr y thereof obliged himſelf by Oath.
Richard, Earl of Comwal , with ſome other
eminent perſons, doing the like, as undertakers
v for him therein.

Nevertheleſs, though the King then gave him
the Appellation of Earl of Ja1Cim..htu. he had
not * the compleat fruition of that Barony, Ka-

thereof in his hands, until by a ſpecial Precept
* to the Biſhop of Chicheſter, then Lord
Chancellor, and Stephen de Segrive (afterwards
Juſtice of England) command was given, that
Livery ſhould forthwith be made to him thercof.
After which, ( wsz. the next enſuing year) he
had farther Livery *® of the Mannors of 1&ttic-
berg, Wike, and Netleſted, in Com. Sf.
which were of his Fee. | |

To this Peter ſucceeded Fobn, his Son and
Heir, in the title of Earl (for onght I find to
the contrary ) though the Barony, Lands, and
Knights Fees, thereto __Y , were other-
wiſe diſpoſed of by the King for a time.

For, in An. 1241. (25 Hen.3.) itis manifeſt,
That the King, by his eſpecial Charter ®, bearing
date 1 Maii the ſame year, gave to Peter de Savoy,
Uncle to Queen Alianore ( viz, Son'© to Thoms,
Earl of Davop,) and his Heirs for ever, for his
homage and ſervice, the Towns of Rtthmund
and Bovts , with the Caſtles, Wapenrtakes,

rious William, My purpoſe therefore, being in
the next place, to ſhew who they were that aftcr-
wards had the Government of it, as Earls, un-
der that puiſſant King, I ſhall begin with Cop.

This Copſ was ® Uncle to Hoſtz (of whom I
have alrcady ſpoke in my Diſcourſe of the former
Earls) being a pcrſon ot great prudence in Coun-
cil 3 for which rcſpe& he was conſtituted Þ Earl,

by King William, for that part of this Province
which licth North of the River Tine 3 where-
upon he drove © out Oſ#lph, whom Morkgr had
ſubſtituted therc.

All that IT find farther memorable of him, is,
That, being highly devoted to S. Crthbert, he
gave 4 to the Church of Ourham Ten Caru-
cates of Land lying in Merſcum , and the
Church of that place, dedicated to S. Germaz 3
as alſo two Carucates in Thou une, in Thc-
ſtrote ten Bovates, in Radcritve half a Caru-
cate, and in HogUUrKge one Carucate, deliver-
ing © poſſeſſion of them by a Silver Cup which
was for many Agcs after kept in that Church,

Atlength Oſulph, whom he had fo driven out,
being neceſſitated to betake * himſelf tg the Woods
and Deſerts for rctuge, gathered ſome ſtrength,
and forcing Copfi, for ſateguard, to flee to. the
Church of Mewburne , ſer it on fire. And
when Copſi , to ſave himſelf from the flames ,
came out, did cut off his head at the very door,
on the fourth Ides of March, in the fifth week
after he had the adminiſtration of thoſe parts
committed to him : But in the very next Au-
tumn , this Oflph was himſelf flain £ by the
hands of a Robber , with whom he accidentally
met.

King William therefore perceiving ® the In-
habitants of theſe parts to be of turbulent ſpirits,
inthe third year of his reign, ſent i Robert Comyn
unto them, conſtituting * him Earl ; wherewith

the people were fo highly diſpleaſed, that upon

his coming, they all reſolved to forſake ! their
dwellings : Bat a very great Snow at that time
falling ® , and preventing their purpoſe , they
then determined ® to kill him, or Kory of in the at-
tempt. Of which deſperate deſign, though he
had notice ® by Egelwine, Biſhop of Olitham,
with adviſe, that he ſhould make his ſpeedy re-
treat 53 nevertheleſs, ſleighting that Council, he
came P to Durham-with Seven hundred Sol-
diers 3 and permitted them not only to plunder,
but to kill divers Lay perſons, who: belonged to
the Church. But the Countrey people haſting
4 with all ſpeed thither, forced the Gates of that
City betimes in the morning 3 the Earls Forc
being totally unready, and flew of them in room
place. Whereupon, the remainder betaking them-
{clves to the Biſhops Pallace for ſafety , were
purſued thither by the multitudez who preſent-
ly firing the Houſe, made ſlaughter of all, except
one ſo that this Earl then loſt his life. All which
hapned * upon the fifth Kalends of $ebr:ary, the
ſamc year.
4 Hercupon Coſpatric, Son of Maldred, Son
of Crinan ( which Maldred was Pzogenitor to
that great and honorable Family of the Newils,
which for many Ages paſt, hath flouriſhed in this
Kingdom) made his Addreſſes to King William
tor this Earldom, repreſenting * his Linea) Ex-
traction by Algitha his Mother, from Ucthred,
late Earl of this Province, whoſe Daughter ſhe
was by Algiva, Daughter of King Ethelred ,
and with a great ſum of Money ( which more
prevailed than ſuch his Alliance) obtained * it.
But ſoon after, diſcerning the Kings auſterity to
be ſuch, as that he could not well endure to live

that Province , taking with them young Edgar-
Etheling, and Agatba his Mother, as allo Mar-
garet and Chritian, his Siſters, fled ® into &Cot:
tatic, where they had reception by King Mal«
colme,

Soon after which, Harold and Canute, Sons to
Swane, King ob £)enmark, with no leſs than
240 Sail of Ships, entring * the Mouth of um:
vi, (tagar-ttheling and Cofpatric, with all the

]{trength he could raiſe in 30:1 limberiang,

joyning with them) aſſaulted the City of Pozk,
then polſcſſed by the Normans, and flew no leſs
than 3000 of them.

Moreover, this Cofpatric invaded Cumber-
lano, (then under the Dominion of Malcolme,
King of ©CvLiulii) and made Y
tion there.

For-which diſloyal aQtons, being deprived
his Earldom by King Wm 3 he firſt fled

adjacent Lands in £00071. for his ſubſiſtance,
until he could better provide for himſelf : But
not long atter bcing ſick unto death, ſending for
Aldwine and 1wrgot, two Monks, who thea re-
ſided at Yeitus, in much aulterity of life, and
contclling © himſelf to them with great itence,
he ended © his days at QUubanfozu (id of, J202-

the Greeks underltood, that it was to reign over
them, they deſpoilcd him of all that he had, and
expelled him thoſe parts. After which, being
wearicd with travel, he returned into J202-
mandy unto King Herry, who gave him a Np-
ble Widow in Marriage z and that the Prieſt at

He'was Son ® to Roger de Monbray, one Þ of

thoſe heroick Men that came'over into England
with Wiliam Duke of 202Mmandy, and aſſiſted
him in his Conqueſt,

During the time of that King, I find little
mcmorable of him ; but after, viz. in the begin-
ning of King Wiliam Rxfw his Reign, he took
i part with Odo, Biſhop of BaAPeur, ( and
thoſe other whom I have mentioned- in my Diſ-
courſe of him, as Earl of Rent) in that Rebel-
lion againſt the King, in order to the advancing
of Rabert Curthoſe to the Royal Throne : In
which InſurreCtion, the before ſpecihed Geffrey,
Biſhop of Cunſtance, and this Earl Robert his
Kinſman, waſted * the City of Bathe, and
Caſtle of Berkley , carrying the ſpoils to
'Bultol, where they then had a Caſtle of great
ſtrength 3 and afterward laid Siege ! to Jl
cheiter, but were repulſed.

In the ſeventh year of William Rufus, this Earl
Robert together with William de On, anddivers
others, machinating ®.to pull down the King,
and to ſet up Sfzphex of. Albemarle, his Aunts
Son, in. his ſtead, put ® themſelves in Arms.
King William therctore taking notice thereof ,
ſummoned ® him to his Court 3 but the Earl be-
ing not a little puft P up with pride, in regard he
had not long before ſubdued 4 Malcolm? , then

' King of Scotland, near Alnwik , ſcorned

to obcy the Kings Commands. The King there-
fore advanced * towards him with an Army, laid
ſiege © to JNewcaſtle, and there made priſoners
t divers of the chcit Nobility then in Rebellion ;
thence marched to Ttnmouth, and took ® in
that ſtrong Hold , Earl Roberts Brother being
therein.

After this to * Bamburgh, (a place of ſuch
ſtrength, that it ſeemed impregnable) where-
unto this Rebellious Earl had made his retreat ,
and laid ſiege thereto : The Earl therefore dif-
cerning himſelf in this ſtreight, got ? out of that
Caſtle by-night, with thirty of his Soldiers, and
fled to Cimmoutth 3 but being followed thither
by the Kings Forces, and not able to defend it
above ſix days, he was grievouſly wounded * in
the Leg, and thence carried priſoner * into
CUnito2 Caſtle. Whereupon the Monk of
£©urham makes this obſervation of him Þ, That
in th: ſame Church which be had by violence taken
from $, Cuthbert, he loft all that be bad, with bis
Earldoms and Liberty to boot,

But the particular circumſtances of this his
Rebellion, and iſſue thercof , according to the
Relation of another © Author (varying ſomewhat
from what I have already expreſt) I ſhall here al-
ſo add.

This Earl being a -cheif perſon in that Plot,
for advancing Stephen of Yibemarle to the
Crown , began: that Inſurre&ion by the ſeilure
of four great Ships taken with Merchandiſe from
J202way, and bound for England ; for which,
the King commanding, ſatisfaCtion to be given,
and he refuſing 3 as alſo, requiring his appearance
before, which he refuſed to makes . the King
marched towards him with an Army, and as he
was entring 4 his Territories , Gulbert de Tone-
bruge (apotent Baron, and of the ſame Conſpi-
racy) proſirating himſelf at the faid Kings feet,

likewiſe to him all thoſe other who wcrc in
the Conſpiracy. Whercupon the King divciting
his courſe, marcbed to the Caſtile of *am-
burgh, and laid ſiege thereto 3 bur diſcerning,
it imvincible, in regard of the Lakcs and Waters
hindering any near acceſs, he raiſed a ſtrong, Fort
at ſome diſtance, for defence of the Countrey,
as alſo for reſtraint of the Rebels Sallics z and
Manned , and Vicualled the ſame fuffcicntly :
Which (with the numerous Field Forces that the
King then had) being diſcerned, cauſed many ot
the party to revolt.

This Rebellious Earl being therefore thus be-
ſheged ©, and finding his condition deſperate,
fled * out of that Caſtle by night 3 but paſſing
from Caſtle to Caſtle, was at length takcn Þ by
the Kings Soldiers, and kept priſoner * for the
ſpace of almoſt thirty ycars 3 whcrc he dicd *, as
my Author faith 3 leaving ! no iſſue.

Others ® report, that he did thus put himſelf
in Arms againſt King William Knfis for Gods
cauſe, wiz. For his baniſhing of A»ſelme, Archbiſhop
of LCanterbtiry ;, and deſtruction of divcrs
Churches for his making the J2ew Fo2eſt in
IDant(hire. But certain it is, that being taken,
(as is already obſcrved) he was carricd priſoner
to WWInDIo2e , and there detained " by Rufws 3
and aftcrwards, by King Henry the Firtt, for the
ſpace of almolt thirty four years, that he dicd.

Howbeit, in ſome ſort, to expiate for theſe his
enormities, let us now look upon his Works of
Picty, which had precedence, in point of time,
unto theſe his Rebcllious Actions,

Certain it is, that he was the great reſtorer
® of the Church of S. Oſwyne at Cimauth,
which had Jain long deſolate unto that glory it
after had, and procured P from Paul, the then
venerable Abbot of S. Albans, ſome of his Monks
to be tranſmitted thither, amply endowing 1 the
fame with Lands and Poſſciſions, and annexing
it as a Cell to that great Monaſtery.

Aftcrwards he was ſhorn * a Monk in the
Abbey of S. Albans, where he departed * this
life, in the year 1106. 7 Hen.1.

This Earl took* to Wife, Maxd, the Daugh-
ter of Richerinus de Aquila, Neece to Hugh, Earl
of Theſicr (by J=dith, Siſter to the ſaid Hwgh)
but ® of this marriage ſhe had little joy, the Re-
bellion of her Husband ſo ſoon enſuing, and
afterwards his long impriſonment : So that con-
ſidering, ſhe had not the Society of him as an
Husband, ſhe was, by the ſpecial leave of Pope
Paſchal, permitted to marry unto Nagel de Albani
(who. by the gift of King Herry the Firſt, had
all the Lands of the (aid - Earl given unto him : )
Which Nige/, after he had lived a while with
her, had a mind to another Wife -z wherefore
( taking advantage of the death. of Gubert de
Aquila her Brother) he put her away, becauſe
ſhe was the Wife of bis Kinſman, and wedded
another 3 as I ſhall ſhew in due-place.

King Edward the Confeſſor, as Ingulphw * teſti-
fieth 3 notwithſtanding others > do ſay, that he
had them in marriage with Fudzth, Necce to King
IViliam the Conqueror, by that Kings donation.
Both which expreſſions may very well ſtand to-
gcther 3 for though Earl Waltheof fir poſſeſſed
them by the gift of King Edward yet, confider-
ing, that after the Norman Duke had made an
abſolute Conqueſt here , whereby he obtained
the Crown of this Realm, no Engliſhman con-
tinucd the poſſeſſion of any eſtate he formerly
had, but by his ſpecial favor. So that this Wat-
th:of was then neceſſitated to ſubmit to the plea-
ſure of the new King, and accept of J2o02thum-
berland, upon condition of his true allegiance
to the Vidtorious Norman 3 and of theſe Counties
of Þuntendon and Noztyampton, as a Mar-
riage Portion with the ſame Fudith , the Con-
querors Neece 3 to the intent , he ſhould by the
Bond of Afinity, as well as Gratitude, become
a good and Faithful Subje& unto that ny

But, having ſpoken at large of this Waltheof
and Fudith, under the title of J2o2thumber:
land poſt Conqueſtum 3 where it will appear,
that he being, charged for conſpiring with Raphe,
Earl J2ozfork, and Roger, Earl of Gereto2d,
to deſtroy or expel King Wiliamz and for that
pretended Crime; loſt his Life and Honor. More-
over, that thercupon the King diſpoſed the Go-
vernment -of J2o2thumbertand to Walcher ,
Biſhop of Durham, and offered © 7udith his
Neece ( Widow of the faid Waltheof ) unto
Simon $. Liz, a Noble Norman, (Son %of Ray-
dulph le Rich, ) who with his Brother Garzerius
le Rich, came © over into England with the
Conqueror.

I ſhall here obſerve, that ſhe refuſing him,
in regard he halted of one Leg 3 the King grew
ſo Aifolcaſed with her, as that he ſeiſed ® upon
the Caſtle and Honor of DUntenDon , which
ſhe then held in Dower (it having been formerly
granted to her and her heirs) expoling her and
her daughters to ſhift for themſelves in the Ifle
of Elp, and other obſcure places 3 and beſtow-
cd © upon the faid Simon the Town of J201-
thampton, with the whole Hundred of Falke-
ley, then valucd at Forty pound per annem, to
provide Shooes for his Horſes. Simon therefore,
not gaining the Mother, by the advice of his
Friends, took to Wife | Mqrd, her eldeſt Daugh-

ter > and thereupon had this Earldom of Dun-
g

tendon given * unto him” by the King.

It doth not dixe&tly appear at what time it
was , that the Conqueror advanced him ta theſe
Earldoms of NuntenDon and MNozthampton ;
but certain it is, that he had them both 3 for In-
galpbus alſo (who lived then) expreſly affirms as
much. :

This Earl Simon built ® the Caſtle of J202-
thampton, as alſo the Priories ® of S. Andrews
there , about the Eighteenth year of the Con-
querors Reign (which Priory ſtood near to that

Caſtle) plencifully endowing ® it , and making

Moreover, he was one of the Witneſſes * to Ay, 1 106;
thoſe Laws which were made by King Henry the * Mar. Pariz,
Firſt, in 4. 1100. that being the firlt year of his 3% 419:
Reign. After which (in the ſame Kings time)
he went intothe * Dolp Land, but in his return « ” Monat.
died * at the Abbey of Charity, before exprelled, 7 vl
and was there 7 buried. Fraps 7

He took to Wife, Maud, the eldeſt Daughter
of Earl Waltheof ( as I have already inſtanced )
and died * in France, earing Ifſue by her $+-
mon © his eldeſt Son, Waltheof Þ Abbot of Mel:
ros in DCotland, and Maud © hath hrit married
to © Robert, Son of Richard de Tonebrigge, (Pxo-
genitor to the Noble Family of the Fitz-Woalters,
antiently Barons of this Realm) and afterwards
©to Wiliam de Albani of "\5fe[voir.

A That this ſecond Simon, ſucceeded his Fa-
ther in the Earldomof J202thampton, is not
to be doubted 3 but that the Earldom of Dun-
tendon was taken from him for the greateſt
part of his time, ' is plain enough : For David,
Son of Malcolme the Third, King of Scotland,
(and Brother to Alexander, to whom he after
ſucceeded in that Kingdom ) having married
f Maud his Mother ( eldeſt Daughter unto Earl
I altheef,, as hath been already obſerved) by the
ſpecial favor 8 of King Henry the Firſt, poſſeſſed
himſelf thercof. "

Of this David it was told ® King Stephen, up- »
on his firſt aſſuming the Crown of Englanv ; h
that whereas he did make a ſhew of coming to !
him in a peaccable manner , and as a gueſt, he ®
had entred Carlifle and Jlewcaſtie, and
poſſeſſed himſelf of thoſe ftrong Towns. Where-
upon, the i King advancing towards him with
an Army, David met him alittle South of Dur-

His Reign.
The Character which Robert , Earl of H[0-

Ceſter (his Enemy) gives of him, is this in

effet, wiz. * That he ws a Man forward in pro-
miſes , and ſlow iz performance, Howbcit his
Works of Picty were ſuch as ſpeak better of him 3
for he Founded *® the Nunnery called De 1a
Pree, near unto J202thampton 3 as alſo the
i Abbey of Saltrey 'in Duntingdonſhire ;
and gave * to the Knights-Templers the Church
of SUuthwike.

But in that Treaty betwixt Herry, Duks of
J2ozmandy, and King Stepher, at the Siege of
CUallingtowd , in 18 Steph. no man ttood
more oppoſite ! to a peaceable accord, than he,
though his death was then at hand 3 for he then
and there departed ® this life , and was buricd

n in the Priory of S. Andrews at JNozthamp- :

ton.

He had a Brother ® callcd alſo Simon de S,
Liz, who beſtowed ? to that Abbey of Dela Pree
(of his Brothers Foundation) a certain Meadow
in Cumton, called uthere-Lidehaleh, for
maintenance of the Lights in that Abbey
Church. To whom ſucceeded another Simon ,
who in 16 Joh. gave 4 a Paltrey to the King,
to have a Writ of Right, for one Knights Fee in
Cumron, againſt David, Earl of DuntenDon,
And in 7 Hen.3. paid * Thirty marks, and one
Palfrey for the Wardſhip and Marriage of the
Heirs of Richard Balaſtan.

The Deſcendants of which Simon, fixing at
SC£Cton in Com. Rutl. aſſumed that place tor their
ſirname 3 whoſe Heir-female Temp. Hen.6. be-
came the Wife of Sir William Feilding of J2ewn-
ham i: Com. Warr. Knight. From whom the
Right Honorable Baſil, now Earl of Denbigh,
is Lincally deſcended. But I return.

This laſt Earl Simon married © Tſabel, Daugh-
ter to Kobert, Earl of Leiceſter ( afterwards,
Wife * of Gervaſe Paganel. ) Which Iſabc!, in her
Widowhood, paſſed over unto Robert, Earl of
Leiceſter her Nephew , all her Lands of
B2adefeld, Botindone, JNozfeld , and
UWialtham ; and put her felf into his Protedi-
on and Tuition. And by her left iſſue ®, a Son
called Simon, and two Daughters, viz. Amice
and Hawiſe, both in the cuſtody * of King Henry
the Second : Which Simon did immediately ſuc-
ceed Y him in the Earldom of J202thampton,
but not in that of PlUntenDon ſo ſoon 3 for
Malcolme King of Scots, Grandſon to Maxd, the
cldeſt Daughter to Earl I altheof, by her ſecond
Husband, David, King of SC0tland, obtained
* it from King Henry the Second, in the firſt year
of His Reign , in Jicu of the Countics of J:20}-

merland, which he then rendred up to the
ſame King 3 Though others afkrm, That it was

tor accompanying that King in his expedition to |

Tholotiſe, in A». 1159. ( which was about
tour ycars aftcr. ) : Which Mul:o/ms being, dcad,
William, King, of DCotland (bis Brothcr and

Succeflor) held * it, until he with divers of the -

Exglih Barons rote in Arms againſt that Kine,
on the part of young King Henxry his Son 3 at

which time, Darrd ( brother to the Kiny of

Scotland, (who had the Caſtle and Honor of
lDuntenDon, then in his hand) joyning Þ with
them alſo in that Rebellious Inſurrction ) bc-
lieged-<© the Caſtle, The news whercof being,
ſoon bronght to- King Herry (then in J202-
mandy_) made him ſo much incenſcd, that he
forthwith appointed 9 an Army to be raiſcd in
England, to reduce thoſe Rebels ; and that the
Caſtle and Earldom of {)uUntendon ſhould be
dclivered © unto Earl Simon, as the righttul Heir
thercot. Which tidings were-ſo acceptablc to
Simon, that without delay , he came f before it
with conſiderable Forces 3 whereupon, the King,
of Scots (who then held it) hnding himſelf not

able to make rclittance, rendred & it up into- his:

hands.

But when it was thus obtained, theſe two
Earls, viz. Simon and Darid, firiving Þ much
about it, the King, moved with anger, {worc |,
That neither of them ſhould have it , and (6
cauſed it to be demoliſhed.

This Earl Simon, in 12 Hey.2. upon Collc&ion
of the Aid for Marrying of the Kings Daughtcr,
certified * the Knights Fees he then held, to be
Lxviii. and a halt de Ver. Feoffamento, and about
the number of xii de Novo, and notwithſtanding

(3oHen.2.) without iſſue, he was buricd " in the
Priory of S. Andrew at J2O2ti;ampton,

Whercupon the King gave ® this of Puntcn-

Scots with incomparable valor, they ſoon ob-
taincd 4 a molt complcat and glorious Victory.
Whereupon, this our Earl William, in reward of
his Prowcſs, was forthwith advanced © to the
Earldom of Pozkſhire, by King Stephen 3 as
Robert de Ferrers was to that of YDerbiſbire.
In memory of which Battle, the Ground wherc-
on it was fought, lying about two miles diſtant
from J2o2th Alverion (on the right hand the
Road, lcading thence towards £Uurham) is to
this day called 9raunard Dl , having in it
divers hollow placcs ſtill known by the name of
the SCots 351ts, ;

But after this, about three ycars,, he was with
the ſame King Stephen, with worſe ſucceſs, at
that fatal Battle f of Lincuſn Cot which I have
ſpoke at large, under the title of @ Heiter) the
King, himſelf bcing there taken priſoner, ' and

E (tiled Earl of Pork 3 and ( as it is faid by
h ſome) fled away from the hight, cxpoling the

Thus much for hg, Military Actions, which

thoſe of his Picty di excced 3 for he was the
devout Founder of theſe ſeveral Religious Houſts,
712. Meaur ! in lYolderneſs, (not far from his
Calile of Skipſey) in An.1136.Thoznton upon
m {)umber in A». 1139. and VBytham ® in
Lincolnſhire in A. 1147. (afterwards tranſ-
lated to CLAUDCP +) all which he then endowed
with large Revenucs. |

- And\becauſe the occaſion of his Founding that
ot
here take the boldneſs to give a ſhort account
9 thercot.

Bring, a pcrſon very famous in his time, and
owner of the greateſt part ot Po2kſhire, and
having, made a Vow to go unto Terrulalem,
he could not, by rcaſon of his age and corpu-
Iency, well pertorm the ſame : Wherctorc, there
being then a Monk of F ountatns, called Adam,
who was a pcrſon of ſingular Prudence, and
grcat Fame and at that time buficd in the
{tructure of the Abbey of CUlobuUrne in Beo
fo2dſhire, as alſo of i8trkſtede and Clattdep
in Lincolnſhire (ot which laſt, - this Earl 1:!-
liam was Founder, as hath been ſaid ) this Monk
thereupon became in ſome mcaſure acquainted

ur, is ſomewhat remarkable, I ſhall |

with our Earl; and diſccrning, that he was in
no ſmall trouble of mind touching that h® Vow,
adviſed him, tor ſatisfac&tion-thcrcot , to tound
ſome Monaſtery of the Ciſtercian Ordcr 3 adding,
that it he ſhould plcaſc ſo to do, he would ob-
tain for him, from the Pope, an Abfolution from
the Vow. The Earl thereupon conſenting, A-
dam torthwith reſorted unto Ergenius the Third,
(at that timcin France 3) and, having acquaint-
cd him with his errand, as alſo obtained his de-
fire, returned, and took view of all the Lands
of this Earl, to the end, he might hind the moſt
proper and commodious Scat for the ſame : In
which view, ſceing this Territory, now called
Dcaur, to be well adorned with Woods and
Grovcs, and environed with Lakes and Waters,
as alſo the Soil thercof very fruittul 3 hc con-
cluded, that it would bc the moſt fit and proper
place for that purpoſe, and aſcending that part
thereof, then called Onr Ladies Hill, he went to
the top of it, and fixed his Staff in the Ground,
ſaying, Thi place ſhall be called the Kings Court,
the Vinzyard of Heaven, -and Gate of Life, Here
ſhall be ordaincd a People worſhipping Chriſt : And
then turning himſelf to the ſtanders by , ſaid,
There ſhall be in the laſt days a Mount prepared for
the Houſe of God on the top of an-Hill, Which
words, (aid he, I know not he it comes to paſi, but
T have all this day had in my Mouth , and now I
ſee that Providence hath occaſioned the ſame , and
willed , that on this little aſcent, his Temple ſhould
be made in u.

But when the Earl ſaw that this Monk had
made choice of that place , he was not a little
troubled in mind , in rcgard he had an cxtra-
ordinary love to it , by rcaſon of its ſituation,
having not long, before obtained it in exchange
from one Sir Fohnde Meanux a Knight, ( whoſe
Inheritance it was) for the Mannor of 1Bewick
near U{[dburgh, with purpoſe to have incloſed
It for a Park, having bcgun a Ditch on the Weft
tide! thereof, afterwards called Park-Ditch, which
exchange was confirmed P by King Henry the
Second. Nevertheleſs, ycllding to ' the Monk
thercin, the Abbey of MEAUr was there Founded
accordingly.

And laſtly, over and beſides theſe great Foun-
.dations of thoſe three Religious Houſes before
remembred, he gave 4 to the Canons of B21ÞD-
ngton, the third part of a Carucate of Land
in Otringham, four Bovates in SD©otelay,
{ix Bovates in Attingwic, one Carucate in
Schirlington, four Bovatcs in Btfo2P, and
four Bovates in BOvinton which gift was in
recompence * of ſome wrongs he had done to

dom of Albemarle, in 6 Edw. 1. And had
© certain Lands in Tho2nton 9, to the value of
One hundred pound per annum, aſſigned to him
to releaſe his Right therein : Which he did © ac-
cordingly, and not only ſo, but to * all the Lands
and Tenements in England, which did ſome-
time bclong to Alice de Fortibus, Fobn de Fortibus,
Thom de Fortibus, William de Fortibus, and Wil-
liam le Groſſe, ſometime Earl of Albemarle,
and Hawiſe his Daughter 3 together with all the
Right of Avice, Conjtance, 'and Ranulph his An-

This Earl William le Groſſe died 3 in An. t179.
(25 Hen. 2.) and was buricd * in that Abbey of
Tyo2nton upon Pumber, which himſelf had
Founded.

< To whom ſucceeded in this Earldom,
William de Mandevil, Earl of flex, in Right
of Hawiſe his i Wite, Daughter and ſole Heir,

heritance of ber Father. And that he had the title
of Earlof Aibemarle, is clear ! enough. - But
of that Eail (viz. William de Mandezil ) having
occafion to ſpeak more largely in Efler , I ſhall
now ſay no more, than that he departcd ® this
life at 1\0an in J202mandy, in the Moneth of
November, An. 1189. (1 Ricb. 1.) leaving no
iſſue by this Hawiſe , who afterwards taking
n William de Fortibus to her Husband, he was

alſo in her Right, Earl of Aibemarle, and Lord
of Yoldernets,

« This William de Fortibus being with King
Richard the Firſt, at Chinon in Anzou, in the
ſecond year of His Reign, was there ® conſti-
tuted one of the Admirals of his whole Fleet ;
wherewith, fbortly P after -Eaqfter that year, they
ſailed 1 towards yerutalem. In which journey,
pailing * betwixt Africa and Spain , ( after
many Tempeſts) they came * to Marſeilles,
on the Octaves of the Aſſremption of the Bleſſed
Virgin , - and on Holy Rood day to * Meffana

in Silly.

In the fame year , upon Collection of the
Scutage for Tatts, he anſwered ®, Six pound
Ten ſhillings for the Barony of Skipton, and
Ten pound for the Knights Fees appertaining to
his Earldom of Albemarle. In 6 Rich.1. upon
levying the Scutage for the Redemption of King
Richard, from his imprifonment in Blmaine,
he was acquitted *, in regard he had Y been with

the King had directed him to do 3 puniſhing

under him in cach placc. an

In the third of that Kings Reign after the railing Ar. 1068,
of a ſtrong Fort at PO2K by the King, (when
he had relicved that City, then beſieged by Edgar
Etbeling, and his adherents) he was made * Go+
vernor thereof.

By the advice * of this Earl, and ſome others, : W. Mala
it is ſaid, That King William cauſcd all the Mo= 57 * 3%
naſtcries of \Enfland to be ſearched; and what
Money he found that the rich Men of the Land
had therein depolitcd;, byxeaſon ot his auſterity,
to be taken away.

Howbcit, to make ſome amends for that, and
all other miſcarriages, which his Military courſe
of lite, or any other worldly rcfpet&ts had e&x-
poſed him unto, he became the devout Founder
" of two fair Abbcys in J2021mandp 3 the one
at Lira, che other at Tornefles,

And unto * that of Lira , gave divers

Churches Lands and Tithes in England, viz. ©
The Church of IDDdanlepy in CTUorLfefterthire,
as alſo all the Tithcs of that Lordſhip , with
Twenty ſhillings ycarly Rent, one Man, and half
a yard Land there. Likewiſe, all the Tithes
of the Foreſt of Malverne , cxcepting Veni-
fon, the Tithcs of TCuhull , with one Man ,
and halt a yard Land there; the Tithes of Btfs-
lep, with one Man, and one yard Land therc 3
the Tithes of EldzesSteld , one Man, and one
yard Land there : The Churches of Fechham,
Chedwo2th, the Tithes of Afverthone, and
Eight ſhillings Rent out of the Church of Sal[-
pertone , the Tithes of Frothelmetone ,
with one hide and one yard Land in Dante-
burne.

But I now come: to his dcath 3 the occaſion
whereof was thus Y , Upon the dcath of Bald-

after the Norman Conqueſt of this Realm, Earl
William (oF Derefo2D) took it away, and gave it
20 one Gilbert-his ſervant, and ſo we loſt that Lord-
ſhip. And. this: Eart William, who »njuſtly took
from God, and S, Mary, many other Lands, by the
juſt judgment of God, not long after died ( a baniſh-
ed man from his Country ) an ignominious death;
for not being afraid to diſherit the Houſes of God,
God in juſt vindication thereof left bim no beir to bis
Honor ; bis Son and Heir, being for Treaſon, with-
in a ſhfrt time impriſoned, where he miſerably ended
bis life, and all bis Poſterity, by a publick, Law, de-
prived of their Inheritance,

Dying thus, his Corps was conveyed to Cor-
metiles Cone of the Abbeys of his own Foun-
dation) and there Þ Interrcd.

There is no doubt but that he had very large
Poſſeſſions by the Conquerors gitt 3 for it appears
that he built |
Gloceſberſhire , and the Caſtles of Cliffozd,
Wigmore, and Ewtas, in Herefo2dſhire ;

but, in regard he dicd long before the General

Survey, there is no Memorial at all left of
them.

This Earl firſt took © to Wife Adeline, Daugh-
ter to Roger de Toney (a great Baron, of whom I
ſhall make mention in due place) and had 9 iſſue
by her, Three Sons and three Daughters 3 of
which Sons, William, the eldeſt, had © after his
Fathers death, '1B2etol, and all other his Lands
in- J202mandy 3 and, by the aſſiſtance of Phzlip,
King of France, and Robert Curthoſe, Duke of
No2mandy, did, after a time, recover * the
Caſtle of JVery, extorted from - him by Gobell
de Berbehivale , which . Caſtle he had of the gift
E of the ſaid Robert, And having married ® Ade-

. dize, Daughter to Hugh de Montfort , and been a
ercat BenefaQor i to the Monks of Utica, de-

* parted * this life the ſecond Ides of January,

An. 1099. (12 Wil. Rufi.) Whercupon he had
Sepulture ! in the Cloyſter at Lira bctore men-
tioned 3 but left no legitimate ifſue.-
. His ſecond Son was Raphe, ſhorn ® a Monkat'
Cormetles in his youth.

The third was Roger de Britolio , who had
n this Earldom of Derefo2D, and all his Lands
in England after his Fathers death. By the
Inſtigation of this Roger, King William cauſed

Joril 574. all the Monaſteries of England, in the Eighth

of His Reign, to be ſearched for their treaſure :
But this Earl ſtood not long 3 for, being a faith-

thereupon fleeing to J202wich , hold © that

City as long as they could 3 bur at length be- «

ing conſtraincd to render it, this Earl þ »zer
was ſent Þ for to the Court, and - being quctti-
oned thereupon, could not © deny the tat :
Whereforc, according to the Norman Law. he
was adjudgcd 9 to loſe all his Pofſeſſions, and tv
perpetual impriſonment , where, though he tre-
quently uſed many ſcornful and contumclious
exprethons towards the King, 3 yct he was plca-
ſed, at the celebration of the Feaſt 'of FE utter, in
a ſolemn manner (as then was uſual) to ſend
His
Royal Robes 3 who { diſdaincd the tavor.that he
forthwith cauſed * a great hre to be made, and
the Mantle, the inner Surcoat of Silk, and the
upper Garment lined with precious Furs, to
be ſuddenly burnt. - Which being made known
to the King, he became not a little diſpleaſcd,
and ſaid 8, Certainly be is a very prond Man, who
hath thus abuſed me ;' but, By the Brightneſs of God,
he ſhall never come out of priſon ſo long as I live.
Which expreſſion was fulfilled to the utmolt 3 for
he never was relcaſed , during that Kings life,
nor after, but diced ® in priſon 3 leaving i iſſue
(though by whom not mentioned ) two Sons
Raynald and Roger , excellent Soldicrs undcr
King Henry the Firſt ; who. (olliciting his clc-
mency in their great diſftreſſes, found * little
regard.

The two Daughters of this Earl IVil.;zm, were

taking his opportunity to impart i the bulinels to

And as this Reverend Biſhop, with thoſe I

a conliderable ftrength of Exgliſh and' Normans
appcar againli Earl K aphe, then encamped near

Ot the Lands whereot he was poſlefled, the
Conquerors Survey makes only mention of theſe,

This Earl Kaphe had iſſue by Enme his Wife,

the Caſtle of 42gwburgh in Nomandy, the
place of his Birth. As to the dire time of his
advancement to this Earldom, it doth not cer-
tainly appear 3 but, by Circumſtances I gueſs it
to have been towards the later end of King Wit-
liam the Conquerors Reign, in regard there isno
mention of him in the General Sxrvey (begun in
the Fourteenth of that Kings timez) for my Au-
thor © ſays, That King William having beegirt
CUarwick with a mighty Ditch, for the Pre-
cin& of its Walls 3 and erected the Gates at his
own charge, did then promote this Henry to the

Crown.

That Earls thus antijently had no formal
Charters of Creation, is plain enough to thoſe

their Inveſtiture into that Dignity being then
By Girding with the Sword of the County, J Marth,
Paris 4, and others do obſerve.

the manner of his advancement thereto 3 how-
beit, that it was 'the Conqueror who conferred
this honor upon him, is not only manifeſt from
the teſtimony of Fobn Rows , already vouched,

Poſſeſſions in this County, and ſeveral others, jo
the Conquerors time, having the reputation of

whereupon he laid claim i to what the Monks of

One hundred and two, and a third part) he paid

the Kings expcdition into Wales, And in
15 Joh. (arriving then to his full age) had Livcry

as his Anceſtors heretofore had. In 16 Fob. con-
tributing * Forty two marks towards the Kings
Wars in Poitou, he was cxcmptcd * from the
Scutage then lcvicd for that {crvice. And having
been Loyal * to King Fohs in the time of his
great troubles with the Barons, obtained the
Kings ſpecial Precept ® unto Hugh de Newil, un-
to whom the cuftody of TULatwick Caſtle had
been committed, during thoſe: diſtractions , to

During the minority of this Earl Hexry, it
was i, That King John C ſcil, in the Fourth of
His Rcign ) gave the Seignory of Gowhec in
CClalts ( of his Inheritance ) unto Willtam de
Braſe , concerning, which, the ſuccceding, Earls
of CUarwick had great Sutcs , as in due place
I ſhall ſhew.

He had two Wivcs, viz. Margery *, the cldeſt
of the two Daughters of Henry D*Oily of {)oke-
11nmton in Com. Oxon, Silter | of Henry, who
dicd without iſſue , by which means part of
I*Oilies Inheritance came to this Family : His
other Wifc was Phbilippa ® , one of the three
Daughters and Heirs to Thomas Baſſet of IDc-
Denvon before mentioned , and departed this
lite in 13 *He#. 3. Whereupon Philippa
his Widow, gave ® One hundred marks to the
King, that ſhe might not be compelled to marry
again, but to take to Husband, whom ſhe ſhould
like beſt, in caſe he were a Loyal Subject. Where-
upon , the ſame ycar ſhe wedded ® her fclt to
Kich:rd Siward, a turbulent ſpirited perſon ,
but of a Military P diſpoſition trom his youth :
For in 17 Hem.3. he took 4 part with divers great
Earls and Barons, in their Rebcllion begun about
that time 3 which was not well quictcd. till
22 Hen. 3. But from this Richard ſhe was aftcr-
wards divorccd ”.

And afterwards, in hcr pure Widowhood ,
gave f to the Canons of Berenceſter, (id &f,
Lilleter) in Com. Buck, Seven ſhillings yearly
Rent, iſſuing out of certain Lands in @tudley
in Com. Warr. to find one Lamp continually
burning before the Altar of S. Fobx Baptiſt, in
the Conventual Church of Berenceſter, for
the health of her Soul, and all her Anceſtors and
Childrens Souls, and lieth buricd * in the Mo-
naſtery there of her Fathers Foundation. —

The iſſue which this laſt mentioned Earl Henry
had, was only one Son, -2iz. Thomas ®, and one
Daughter called Margery * 3 both by his firſt Wife,
Which Thomas was of full age at his Fathers
death for the ſame ycar paying Y One. hundred

inhcriecd * P*Oilies Lands in Orfo2Dlhire, by
the death of Hexry D*Oily his Uncle Þ without

in its carriage away by the Devil;--ery-out loud-
ly, and with a known and diltin& voice, Lord
have mercy on me: Lord have mercy on me, And
morcovcr, that the next day after, the Abbot ac-
quaintcd all the Monks in Chapter therewith :
And likewiſe, that about four days after, there
came a Meſſenger to them from the Wife of this
Earl, with One hundred thillings for the good
of his Sou], who told them, That he dicd the
very hour as the Abbot heard that out-cry ; But
that neither the Abbot, nor any of the Monks,
would receive i 3 not thinking it ſafe for them,
for to take the Money of a damncd perſon.

It the firſt part of this Story , as the Abbots
hearing that noife, be no truer than the laſt, viz,

I ſhall deemit to be a meer fiction, in regard
the Lady was certainly dead about three years
bctore.

T The Lands whereof this Earl was poſleſs-
ed, were of a vcry large extent 3 for it appears
by the Conguerors Survey 9, that he had in Pozk:
ſhire that great Lordſhip of Contngsburgh,
within the Soke whereof , were Twenty eight
Towns and Hamlets 3; TUeſtune in @Sh20p-
(hire; in Efler, One and twenty Lordſhips 3
in Suffolk Eighteen; in Dxfo2dſhire, Wat

Lordſhips 3 in Buckinghamſhire, B2otone,
and Caurefelle z in Duntendonſhire, The-
nebaltone, with thrce other Lordſhips 3 in

hundred thirty nine Lord(hips.

q Ot Wtam, Earl TCAarren and Surrey,
the ſecond of that name the firſt mention I
fnd, is, That in thoſe Military encounters which
were between Hugh de Grentmeſjull, and Robert de
Beleſme, he was one of them that came * to make
proof of his valor.

But in the year 1101. he took © part with that
wicked Robert de Beleſme (Earl of YrunDel and
Shzewsvury ) in his Rebellious attempts, on
the behalf of Robert Furtboſe againſt King Herry
the Firſt : Likewiſe, when Carthoſe landed in
England, that he refuſed * to aſſiſt the King
againſt him, except he would condeſcend to the
unjuſt demands of himſelf, and ſome others :
Wherefore being diſherited ® for theſe his difloy-
al practiſes, he returned * into J2o2manDy with
Curthoſe.

The next year following , ſcil. An. 1102.

After which time, continuing faithful © to the
King, and in favor * as much as any, he com-
manded # the Rear of his Army in that ſignal
Battle at Tenerchebzay, where Curthoſe was
taken * priſoner, and all his power utterly van-

And ſtanding * firmly to the King in all For-
tuncs, when others diſſwaded | him trom adven-
turing the hazard of a Battle with Ring Lewes
of France at B2enneve'lie , it was he that
principally encouraged ® him thercin , and ap-
proved ® himſclf both a skilful and ſtout Soldier
in that 'days fight, wherein King Herry obtaincd
© a glorious. Victory.

As for his Works of Picty, the Foundation of
the Priory of ACre (commonly called Caſtie-
Acre) in- J2orfolk, begun by his Father, and
which he perfe&ted P, was not the leaſt, con-
fidering his large Donation 4 ot Lands and
Tithes thereto 3 and confirming * the Grants

: which his Barons and Knights had rcſpeCtivecly

made * unto the ſame. "

To the Abbey of Roche in Pozkſhſte, hc
gave * the Tithe of all the Ecls throughout his
ſeveral Fiſh-works in I)atfteld, Thur, and
Fiflake, in the ſame County, excepting, what
belonged to the Monks of Lewes, by his Fa-
thers Grant.

To thoſe Monks of Lewes , he gave * the
Lordſhip of L-erchehaim, according to the de-
fire * w his Father when he died , viz. That be
ſhould give them on? of bis b:jt Mannors in the
North; and likewiſe ?, all the Land which W:-
liam de Cuilli held of him.

To the Abbey of Oreſtfnc in J202mandy,
he granted * thoſe Liberties of Leſtage, JIont-
ane, and'ÞPaffaye, in their Mannor of Sa-
02D, | : SEES

And laſtly, He joyncd with Iſabel. alias Elrza-
betbHis Wife, in that gift * to the Infirm Brethren
at Selencumbeis., of all his Errable Lands in
S. Martins , as alſo of One hundred ſhillings
yearly Rent of her Inheritance at (Wellebat in
France 3 and likewiſe One -hundrcd ſhillings
iſſuing out of his Borough of LCwes in Sul-
(ex.

And being, one Þ of thoſe five Earls, who was
preſent with King Herry the Firlt, at the Caſtle
of Lions in France,” when he died 3 he attcr-
wards attended © the Corps of that King unto
the Abbey of Keadtivg in Cugland, where it
had an honorable Scpulturc.

But within the compaſs of the ſame year, he

. himſelf departed © this lite, and was buricd © in
the Chapter-Houſe at LEWCS, at the Feet of his
Father.

This Earl William the ſecond, had to Wife
f Elizabeth, Daughter to Hugh the Great, Earl
of iermandois, Widow © unto Robert, Earl
of Wellentz by whom he lett iſſuc three Sons,
IWilliam, ® his Son and Succeſſor, i Reginald, and
Raphe, and two Daughters, viz. Gundred, Wite

to Roger, Earl of TUArwick 3 and Adeline of

* Henry, Son to David, King of Scots.

that which I find * moſt
memorable, is, Firſt, that when "King Stephen
had raiſed a conſiderable Army, with great dc-
fire to give Battle unto Oettffrep of Anjou (Hus-
band to Maud the Empreſs) from which, his
cheit Noblcs diſſwaded him, by rcaſqn that there
hapned a great mutiny in his Army , ſo that
many fled trom their colours. The King, in
much wrath, haſting after them, overtook this
young Earl with Hxgh de Gornay, and ſome other
vain perſons, at ÞIont-Audomare, and endea-
vorcd partly by threats, and partly fair petſwa-
ons to qualific them 3 but not prevailing, was

|

|

—

conſtrained to make truce with his Advcrſatics
for two ycars.

Next, that in that fatal! Battle ! at Lincoln,
which was betwcen King, Stephen, and thoſe,

then potent Noblemen, who ſtoutly adhercd to !
AMazn4 the Empreſs, ( whereot I have ſpoke more +»

largely under the Titlc of Cheſter.) this Earl,
with IFaleran, Earl of Mellent, (his Brother
by the Mother) then on the Kings part, diſcern-
ing, * that ſome of the chict perſons on the ſame
ide, had privatcly ſent Troops of Soldicrs to
the adverſe party 3 and that the Van of the Kings
Army (whercin they thernſ{clves were) began to
thrink, fled ® z whercupon, the whole Army bc-
ing routed, the King, was taken priſoner.

The laſt account I can give of him, is his pre-
paratibn ® for that great expedition to {ErUl-
laiem , with Coxrade the Emperor, Lewes ,
King of France, and many other brave Men,
E ngliſh, French, Normans, and other, againtt the
Pagans, whereunto they were principally in-
cited by the venerable Bernxrd, Abbot of Cicre-
vaulr, and conſequently his death ?, bcing intct-
cepted by thoſe Inhidels.

This Earl took to Wife 4 Ala . ..* the Daugh-
tcr of Wiliam Talvace (Son to Robert ds Beleſme,
lometime Earl of S\2;:w5burp) by whom he
Ictt iſſue f one only Daughter named Iſabel t,..,
hrſt married unto William, Natural Son to King
Stephen, and afterwards to % Hamelins Plant agenet,
Natural Son tb Geffrey, Earl of JnjOu. Which
Ala died * the Fourth of December, An.1174.

U This Wiliam being Y Earl of PBo2eton
in J202mandp, became * alſo Earl of this
County of DUrrey here in England, in Righr
of his Wife, having ®* by the Grant of Hemry,
Duke of 4202manvuy, upon the Accord made
betwixt him and King Stephey, all thoſe Lands
which Steph2# hcld bctorc he was King of En.
{and, as wcll in England as in F202mandy,
or el{where 3 as alſo whatſocver he had, either
in England or j200anandy, with the (aid
I/abzl his Wife, Daughter to the Earl Warren ;
and in particular, the Caſtles of HSelencumbee
and £Y02timcr in Nownandy; on this con-
dition , that Reginald de IWarren ( Son to Wil-
liam de Warren the ſecond ) ſhould, if he
thought fit, have the cuſtody of thoſe Caſtles,
giving Holtagcs to the Duke tor the ſame. And
tor thoſe Caliles which belonged to his Earldom
of AJo2eton, the Duke to give him poſſeſion
of them, when King Stephex ſhould give ſecu-
rity for their fate cuſtody. All which Hoſtages
to be delivercd up tothis Earl, when Duke Herry
ſhould enjoy the Kingdom of England.

Morcover, upon that accord above mentioned,
he had granted ® unto him by the King (his Fa-
ther) and approbation of Duke Henry, the Caſtle
and Town of J202wtch, with Scven hundrcd
pounds Lands per annum (the Rent of JN02wich
computcd 3 ) and likewiſe the: whole Courfty of
J202folk , cxccpting what belonged to the:
Churches, Rcligious Houſes, and other Earls,
and eſpecially excepting the Tertizm Denarium,
by/ rcaſon whereof, Hugh Bigot was Earl. And
furthermore, for the better ftrengthning of King
Stephens favor and love to him, the'Duke then
granted , to him all the Honor of JIevencirt
which belonged to Kicher de Aquils, and likewiſe
the Caſtle and Town of PPevenelel, with the

thoſe particulars, touching which, the King was

But attcr this, ſcil. in An.1268. (52 Hen...)
all-things rclating to the Publick Being, in quict, |
ſome of the great Men tell at private dilcord with
onc another z amongtt which, it is rcportcd ',
That upon a ditference butwixt this Fobn, Ear!
of CUlarren, and hexry de Lacy, atterward;
Earl of L1ncolit, touching a certain Palturc,
they raiſcd what forces they could, purpoling to

cither judicially, or by .an amicable Agrecment,
compole the ſame'; Who, accordingly, upon ins /
quiry by the Oaths of the Countrey,. adjudged
| the Right thereof to Lacy.
| About the ſame time alſo, there fell ® out no
{mall conteſt betwixt this our Earl, and Sir Alan
la Zonch, an eminent Baron, touching ſome title
of Land. Whereupon, diſcerning ® that he muſt
ſubmit to the Juſtice 'of the Law 3 having firſt
Ppatſhonately vetted ® himſelf in fonl language, at
length aſſaulted ? Sir A/2# and his Son'in (Cleft: |
miaſter-izalt, with ſuch violence, that 4 he 7
almoſt killed' the one, and much wounded the
other. And having ſo done, fled * to his Caſtle.
at A%1gate 3 but Prince Edward purfucd * him
{o cloſe, with a ſtrong power, (reſolving to vin-
dicate this injury thus done to the Kings Au-
thority 3 ) that our Earl, ſecing. it'in vain to ..
make oppoſition, met *the Prince on foot, and * Ibid.
with great humility imploring % mercy 3 after- 761914,
wards made * his Peace with the King, promiſing "= 5410,
Y ſatisfaCtion to the perſons injured. OW
Which promiſe was not meerly verbal 3 for
it appcarcth ?, that he did by a ſpecial Inſtrument,
bearing date at Creyndone in 54 Hey. 3.
oblige himſelf to- come to Prince Edward into
the Kings Court, and ſtand to the judgment
thereot tor that offence lately by him committed
againſt Sir Alan la Zowch, and Sir Roger his Son
at Weſtminſter 3 and to perform im every
point unto his Soveraign Lord the King, and all
others, whatſoever his Peers ſhould deem fit, in
reference to them, and likewiſe to themſelves :
| As alſo, whatſoever the Kings Juſtices ſhould
judge requilite to be done by him, in referenceto
themſelves 3 and not to depart the Court - until
he ſhould both do, and reccive what was right-
ful and juſt, according to the Laws and Cultoms
of this Realm. And this he did undertake ther
by to do, upon penalty of forfciting all his Poſ-
{cihons in CN and unto the King and his
Heirs 3 and of incurring the ſentence of Ex-
communication by all or any the Archbiſhops,
Biſhops, and Prelates of the Land, as the King
ſhould make choice of, to pronounce the ſame
againſt him 3 and when, and whereſocycr he
ſhould pleaſe. Whereupon, a Fine ® of Ten
thouſand marks was laid upon him for that miſ-
demeanor.. Which afterwards, by the favor of
the King was not only reduccd Þ to Eight thous 55 clauſ. 98,
ſand and four hundred marks, but an acceptance © 0*-i*
© of the ſame by Two hundred marks per anaum,
cill it ſhould be paid. |
The next thing memorable , that I find of
this Earl, is 4, That upon the Solemnization of
King Henry the Thirds Funeral, in the Abbey

had given * him) and reduced | it to Aſhes.

And that, about two ycars aftcr, hc was taken

and ſhut up in the Caſtle of D2bec 5, where
his own Soldiers endeavored his reſcue ® by a
ſiege, but in vain : . So that he could not obtain
his liberty, till he had xendred ® the Calle of
DYonttozt unto him.

Furthermore, that he was betrothed ® unto a
Daughter of King Stephens, when ſhe was but
two years old,

And laſtly, that he left iſſue, a Son called P Ro-

cated 4 by the Pope , for adhering to Fobr, Earl
of Yozeton, againſt Richard his Brother, King
of England.

Of Hugh , the youngeſt Son of this Robert,
Earl of Leiceſter, to whom King Steph» gave
the Earldom of BeDfo02D, with the Daughter
of Milo de Beauchamp, upon the expulſion of
Milo : Being a perſon remiſs © and negligent
himſelf, and committing * the cuſtody of that
Caſtle to Milo } he fell * from the dignity of an
Ear], tothe ſtate of a Knight 3 and, in the end,
to * miſerable poverty.

q I come now to Robert, called Y Boſſi, the
eldeſt Son to this laſt mentioned Robert, who
(after him) enjoycd this Earldom of Leiceſter,
and all his Lands in England, This Robert,
ſtoutly adhered * to King Henry the Firſt, upon
all occaſions 3 and was * with himat his death
in Ax. 1135. at the Caſtle of LIONS in

Betwixt this Earl and Roger de Toney, ( a

Being in J202MmanDp with King Stephen, in

$ firſt arrival in

UA Whcreupon no lels then Thirty fortihed Caltles
were ſoon yiclded ® to his obedience 3 and grew
in ſuch high eſteem with him, after his attain-
ing, the Crown of this Realm, that he advanced
him to that great Office ® of Juftice of El1f-
land,

In 10 Hen. 2. he was Pone of the Witneſſes
to that Recognition which the King then made
of the Peoples Liberties 3 and the ſame year in-

R Hoved, terceded 4 with the King on the behalf of 7homs
28:b. Beckt, Archbiſhop of < anterbury. The next
robern, _ enſuing year , he was ſent * to bring him to
13934139 Court 3 but tinding him ſick in Bed, was again
1393 ent © to let him know , That the Barons
s; Hovel- had pronounced Scntence for his Impriſon-
ment.

About this time, when Reginald, Archbiſhop
Mat.Paris, Of C olOnNne, (who had * fomented that Schiſm
j An. e165 of Ociavian againſt Pope Alexander) came ® into
4> ** England, to trcat of a marriage betwixt Henry,
Duke of Saronp, and Mard the King of
Englands Daughter 3 it is ſaid *, That, though
other of the Nobles went to meet him ſolemnly :
This Earl, being then Juſtice of E1.K'cHhd ,
would not give any reſpet to him, becauſe he

ſtood excommunicate by the Pope.

Thus much as to his Secular Dealings;—wherc-
unto that famous pation, made berwixt Ranulph,
then Earl! of Cheſter, and him 3 which farther
demonſtrateth his power and greatneſs, may be
added, whereof I have exhibited the tenor in my
Diſcourſe of that Earl.

But after all this, in 4». 1173. (14 Hen. 2.)
upon what occaſion I find not, certain it is 3 that

M.Weſtm. then, rebelling Y againſt King Herry, he was
{ in codem taken ? priſoner, his City of Leiceſter waſted 2,
and the Wall thereof (of extraordinary ſtrength)
uttcrly demoliſhed *.

Laſtly, touching his Works of Picty, it is evi-
dent, that they were excecding great and many,
far beyond thoſe of his Father. For in A».1143.
YH. Knigh- ('$ Steph.) by the conſent © of Alexand*r, Biſhop
ton, 345- of LINCOIN , he Founded 4 that opulent and
Mon, An- goodly Abbey for Canons Regular of S. Augu-
PIs jtines Order, called De Pratis, in the Suburbs of
20, Leiceffer, in honor of the Aſ«mption of the

Bleſſed Virgin, and amply cndowed it; partly

e with the Poſſeſſions which his Father had be-
ſtowed on thoſe Secular Canons, by him Found-
ed within the Caſtle of Leiceſter, (as hath been ;;
alrcady obſerved) but with f much more of his |
own proper itt.

Likewiſe, he Foundcd 8 the Abbey of **eron-

Likewiſe ®, divers Lands and Tencments in
the City of Park; and whatſoever he held of
David, King, of Scotland , or of Earl Herry
his Son, as well in Demeſn, as in Knights Fees.
Alſo, what he held of the Archbiithop of Po k,
and of his Fec, as well in Demeſn,, as in Knights

Northern parts. - Bu

- But after the death of King Hexry, when Ste-
phen began to Reign , the Scene was altercd 3
for that King, conſidering, (as it 1s like) in what
efieem he. had becn with King Henry, and there-
fore mg that he would be more cordial to

Alzwd the Empreſs ( the rightful Heir to- her
Father) than to him, who was in truth but an

UWurper, took P. from him the Governorſhip of
Bando2ounh, and thoſe other Caſiles 3 which |

All the Fee and Service of.

gave him ſuch diſtaſte, that he thenceforth ad-

hered 4 to his Enemies. And in 3 Steph. when

that he wedded the Siltcr of the Earl IVarren
and likewiſe gave him five Knights Fecs moxc,
which Kobert de Nuvant held.

* But notwithſtanding ſuch his adhcrence to the
King of Scots, he was afterwards reconciled to
King Stephen , as it fecms; for in 5 Steph. it
appcareth Þ-, that he held 'atirgh © and
Litaresburgh ( two great Lordſhips in the
North Riding of Po2kyre ) in Ferme of the
King 3 and was at that time a Juſtice Itincrant,

Upon Y Collc&tion of the Scutage of Scot-

diſcharge * tor Twenty four Knights Fees, and a
third part ; and the ſame year was acquitted of
Scutage for Twelve Knights Fees, upon payment
of the Scutage of (C!algs.

In 14 Joh. the King having raiſed * a great
Army, with purpoſe to march into CCiales, by
rcaſon ot the many Hoſtilities, which the Welſh
had exerciſed on his Engl; Subjects; having
intclligence Þ of a ſudden Inſurrection againſt
him, by mary of the great Men of England ;
forthwith disbanded © his Army, and haſted to
London 3 fetching thither all thoſe 4 whoſe
hdelity he ſuſpefted , requiring them to give
pledges © for their peaceable demeanor. Which

'| (being thus ſurpriſed) they forthwith performed,

ſome ſending * their Sons, and others their near-
ct kinred. But this Exftace, who (with Robert

Fitz-IW alter ) ſtood moſt ſuſpected &, fled ® there-.

upon into BCotiatit 3 whereupon all his poſ-
ſelliohs in England were ſeiſed i into the
Kings hands, and ſpecial command * given to
demoliſh his Caſtle of Alnwike; the Ground
| of their Exccptions, as they pretended, being
the Kings diſobedience to the Pope, for which
he then ſtood ® excommunicate by his Holineſs.
But a reconciliation * being ſoon after made by
Pandulph the Legate, this Exftace hgd reſtitution
®*Of his Lands.

Yet, notwithſtanding all .this, the great Men
were not ſo qualihed, but that their diſcontents,
ere long, broke out in a tar higher meaſure than
beforez the real Ground of them ariſing from
another cauſe 3 which I ſhall briefly here re-
latc.

King John ( ſaith my Anthor ? ) continuing his
wonted licentiouſnefſs, thereby provoked many of his
Nobles to wrath : For, though he had a modeſt
countenance, he was a moſt libidinous Man, exceſive=
ly Iufting after Women, and deriding their Husbands,
on whoſe Wives be had taken his pleaſure.

Amongſt theſe his pradiiſes, hearing that this
Euſtace de Veſci had a very beautiful Lady, but far
diſtant from Court , earneſtly ſtudying how to ac-
compliſh his deſires towards her , ſitting at Table
with her Huband, and ſeeing a Ring on his Finger,
be laid hold on it,and told him, That he had ſuch an-
other Stone, which he reſolved to ſet in Gold, in that
very form : And, having thus got the Ring, preſently
ſent it to her, in her Hubands name , by thats
Token conjuring her, if ever ſhe expefied toſee him
alive, to come ſpeedily to him,

She therefore, upon fight of the Ring, gave credit
to the Meſſenger, and came with all expedition. But
ſoit hapned, That ber Hwsband caſually riding out,
met her on the Road, and marvelling much to fo her
there, acked, What the matter was : And when be
underſtood how they were both deluded, reſolved ta
find out a Common-whore , and put ber in apparel to
perſonate his Lady, All which being. accordingly
done, the King ſoon after bragged thereof, and ſaid,
Exſtace, thou haſt a moſt lovely Wife, and a
pleaſant Bed-follow. To which he anſwered, How
do you know that ? moth the King, I have had
experience thereof. No, (quoth Euſtace) youare
miſtaken 3 it was not my Wife, but a Common=-'
Whore. IWWhereat the King grew ſo enraged, that
he threatned to kill bim, Euſtace therefore appre=
bending the danger, haſted into the North, and m his

Lact.

Ext to this of Veſt, TI have thought ke
to proceed with Lact 3 in regard that
| from Emnitz:e Firz- Jon , a Principal
Branch of that Stock is ſprung , as the Duſccnte
annexcd will ſhew. |
Ot this ancient Family, there were two who
came into LC1gland with 1/7/itmm the Cenque-
ror. wiz. I alt-r de Laci, and I!bzrt de Lact , but
how near allied, I hind not.
Ot theſe, I ſhall begin with 1 alter.
After that King, WWill:um had ſubducd * thoſe
great opponents, who molt diſturbed the peace-
able fruition of what he had by his ſignal Con-
queſt acquired 3 Edwine, Earl of vt iu being
flain *, and Morcar (his Brother) caſtan priſon © ;
of his nearcſt Norman Soldicts, he made great
and powerful Commanders 4,and inriched * them
with ample Gitts and Territorics.

Ot which, this I alter de Laci, (tor his Cx-
pertneſs f in Arms, being one) when the Welſh in
3 Cong. armed themſelves againſt him 3 he was,
amongſt others, ſent 8 to reſtrain their bold in-
curtions. Who firſt entring the parts of B2eck-
nock. ſubducd ® Refs, Caducan, and Mariadoth,
three of their Princes, making great Naughter
there : And not long after, affiltcd' i Wohtar,
Biſhop of CUOMCemrer, Agelwmins, Abbot of
Cuctham , and Urſo, then Sheriff of TU 02-
ceſterſhire, againſt Roger, Earl of Perefo2d,
and Ralph, Earl of $20 io1k, (then in Rebcllion)

to hinder * thcir paiſingethe DEvern, for the
conjunction of their Forccs.

This Walter de Laci had likewiſe many $kir-
miſhes 1 with Filk Fitz-Warine ; in one of
which, he was taken ® priſoner, and put " in
LuMow Cattle. But after this, hcaring ®, that
the ſame Caſtle and Town were won by his
Friend, Sir Arnold de Lis, hecame andivictualled
P them both, and kept 4 thetn as his own. And
when * ors of LuDlOw, and Foxke, with his
Father Farine, endcavorcd the-regaining thcre-
of, he ſent * to the Prince of TUales tor help.
But farther I cannot ſay of him, than that he
gave © his Lands at Deane, to the Monks of
S. Peters at HloCeſter 3 and that, being Founder
" of the Church of S. Peter in IDeref02d 3 whicn
the work was almoſt finiſhed , climing * up a
Ladder there, he fell down, and being killed
with the fall, (6 Kal.* April, An.084. 19 Wil.
Cong. ) was buried ? in the Chapter-houſe at
Gloceſter. ._To which Church of Gloceſter,
Emeline his Wife, for the health of his Soul, gave
bd five Hides of Land in OunteSbo2ne.

Leaving iſſue theſe three Sons , viz. Roger ©,
Hngh 4, and Walter, a Monk © in the Abbey cf
S. Peters at Gloceſter,

Which Roger had grcat poſſeſſions in this
Realm, through the bounty of the Conqueror,
viz. * in Berkſhire two Lordſhips, in &120p-
ſhire. twenty three, whereof he held fix of the
King,and the reſt of Earl Roger de Montgomery
in Oloceiteiſhtre twenty, in Wio2Ceſterſhire

Rob-rt de Beleſme ( Earl of &©4;!EWSB.UTY. of

largely in my Diſcourſe of him) did ® very much

miſcheif throughout- the whole Dukedom of
J$262mandy, about the Ninctcenth year of King
Henry thc Firſts Reign.

I comc now to Hngb his Brother.

Though King IWViliam, to ſatishe ® thoſe, who
had affiſted him againſt King Harold, had diltri-
buted P amongſt them, the greateſt part of this
Realm neverthele(s, many more (both Normans,
Fren-h, and-others).came 1 afterwards over, ex-
pcCing, * likewiſe to ſharc in that General Con-
queſt 3 who finding England too little for ſatis-
faction of their greedy Appetites, obtained leave
ſ of King William K:»fw , to invade v(Aaits.
In which adventure Robert Fitz-Hamon being
t very proſperous: by his Conqueſt of Morgan: 3
others not doubting of the lixe ſucecls, imitated
v his examplc. - Whereupon, * Roger, Earl of

Whcreunto I ſhall add what the Learned Sir
ors Dodd. ridge Knight, late one of the Jultices
n the Court of Kings B-nch 3 being a perſon of
great knowledge in Antiquities, hath, in lus de-
{cription * of (Clales expreſſed 3 viz. That all
theſe Territories, thus acquired, were Baronies-
Marchers, and held of the Crown in capit?e. And
becauſe they and their Poſterity might the better
keep the Lands ſo acquired, and might not be
drawn by Sutes of Law, from the defence of
thoſe Lands ſo obtained by the Sword 3 the ſaid
Lands were ordained Baronies-Marchers , and
had a kind of Palatine Juriſdition erected in
every of them, and power to adminiſter Juſtice
unto the Tenants in cach of their Territorics ;

_eying therein Courts, with divers Priviledges, |

This Hagb afterwards became the firſt Founder
* of the: Priory of Lanthoup,:- upon Þ the Bank
of the River .3othenay in ({{luti.- 3 and am-
ply endowcd it with Izands and Revenucs. He
likewiſe beſtowed © the Church of S, Peters in
WErcto2s (Foundcd by his Father) upon the
Monks.of Qtuxcter 3 and much inriched 4 the

Morcover, to the Monks of Yanmonth, he

gave © three ſhillings yearly Rent, iſſuing out of

kidney, for the goud cliatc of hinſelf; Koes his

Lact

| Wife, and Robert his Sonz but dying without

f iſſue, left his great Inheritance © to his two (Mon. As.
Siſters, viz. Ermeline, who had ® no Children ; icrar
and Emme who took to Husband » « by Iv
whom ſhe had a Son named Gilbert i, who al- / $1ie,

2

ſuming the name of Lact, begot on her a Son
called Hugh *. |

Of which Gilbert, all that I can ſay, is, That
in thoſe turbulent timcs of King Stephens Reign,
hetook 1 part with Geffrey Talbot, his Kigſman, 13; Gefta te.
in that deſign for taking the City of Sathe, ” Oy >,
on the bchalt ® of Mad the Empreſs; and that,
being ® an expert and valiant Soldier, after,2fAi- »\ Mon, au.
vers Encounters, Skirmiſhes, and Vicori&f in Srxen
the Holy "Wars, he at length became ? a Knight Sreival:
Templar 3 and gave 9 to that Order twelve 4 tbid. 5:9 4
Hides of Land, and one. Virgate, in Glut.tinges, *'*
belide his Demeſn there z, as alſo five Burgapges in
CCitncyricumb.

I come therefore to Hugh. \

This Hugh, upon Aſſeſment of the Aid Punh;
for marrying ot the Kings Daughter, certified ®, # xiv. Ru,
That he held Fifty one Knights Fees, and a {1 *2e. («
fourth part, de Veteri Feoffamento, and Five © ©
and an halt de Novo beſides divers Lands, for
which no ſervice was then eſtabliſhed : Some of
his Tenants to'them, ſerving him in his houſe,
he hnding them neceflaries z and ſome reſiding,

Gilbert,

upon his Fermes in Qlaleg, where he naintain-

cd them at his own charge ; For all which, in
14 Hen.2, he anſwered * Sixty marks, and Forty
pence.

In 18 Hen. 2. this Hugh, adhering f to the —
King, when young Henry flew out in Rebellion, tal
was taken * in the Caſtle of {{ernotd 3 for which \:33:
reſpeQ, as alſo tor certain great ſervices in Fre-
land, he obtained the ſame year, a Grant ® of \ V
the whole Territory of Qethe. in that Realm, « )zs

of that Countrey ) without his leave : He was de-
veſted 4 of the cuſtody of that City, viz. in 41.

That which I next find moſt memorable of
this Walter, is, That in 4». 1230. (14 Hen.3. )
when © the King of Tannac roſe in Arms to

( 3. no. (hire, in the time of King John.
Pugh J 1 come now to Hwgb de Lacy (Brother of
" Walter, and) Lord of (ilfter in Ireland ; but

how he got it, let us here obſerve.
When Fobn, Son of King Henry the Second
3 t1ovea, had obtained Þ from his Father the Dominion of
323d. n.zo. Jrelani', he made this Hrgh Conſtable © of that

& 359a,n to

"4 wha Lord of (Ilſter > whom WWakter de Lacy (his

Brother) had treacherouſly endeavored © to fur-
priſe 3 this h mvited *f him to his Caflle,
with promiſe of ProteQion : 'Howbeit, when
he had thus got him into his power, would not
let him go, reſolving # to betray him to the King,
Whereupon. King fob gave ® him that whole
Province of Ciifter , to hold as freely i as he
the ſaid John de Cyrcy had ever enjoyed it, or
held it the day wherein he vanquiſhed him in
Battle,

But after this, King Job» being highly of-

| fended againſt him, failed * into-5reland with

a great Army, and expelled 1 him thence. And,
though in 1 Her. 3. he made ® his peace with
King Henry 3 yet certain it is, that in Jannary,

'$ Hey. 1. he joyncd ® with Leolime, Prince of
Wales, in his hoſtile incurſions. And atter this, +
| ſcil. in 41.1236. (20 Hen. 3.) entred ® SC0t-

land, endeavoring ? to reftore Hal{oway to
the Baſtard Son of Alan de Galloway ( Alan him-
ſelf being dead) which Countrey the King of
Scots had given 1 to the three Daughters of Alan,
as their rightful Inheritance 3 or in caſe that
could not be, unto * Thomas, Brother of the ſame
Alan, or to the Sbn of thar 7boms, or any of

the Kinred, but in this attempt he prevailed
f not.

he Founded * the Priory of !.01p, in the Coun-
ty of ;:Dethy, in ;,celand, which was a Cell to

Friers Minors, commonly callcd the Gray Friers,
at Diine, in the County of Downe. And
likewiſe * the Houſe of Friers Minors at IRArric-
{frvgus, in the County of Antrim.

- This famous Y Soldier , and Conqueror of a
great * part of FrelanDd, (ſo Matthew Paris calls
him) took ®* to Wife Emeline the Daughter and
Heir of Walter de Ridelesford, and departed ® this
life in An. 1242. (26 Hen. 3.) leaving iſſue © one

Fee. In conſideration of which Grant, ſhe the
ſaid Albreda relinquiſhed ® tathis Roger, all her
Dowry in the Town of Daugone in Lindſey,
in the County of Lincoln. |

Being therefore come to this Roger, Conſtable
of Cheſter, I ſhall here take notice of his Pa-
rentage. He was * Son of Fobn, Conftable of
Theiter 3 and he the Son * of Richard Fitz-
Exftace, Baron of IDaſton, and Conſtable of
Cheſter, by Atibreda de Liſorrs above-ſpecified
(Siſter by the Mothers fide, to the faid Kobert de
Lacy, as hath been already obſerved.)

Which Fobn, thus coming to poſſeſs the Lands
of Lacy. did alſo aſſume that firname and Arms.
But all chat I have farther ſeen of him, is, That

ſent at Lincoln , when David, King of SCot-
land did homage and fealty to King John.

In 3 oh. he obtaineda Grant of the Ward-
ſhip of Wuliam, the Son of Robert Fitz-Kannlph,
Lord of MtbdIeham i Com. Ebor.

It ſeems that the Five hundred marks which
he undertook in 1 Fob. to pay for Livery of the
Lands of Guy de layVal, weremnot diſcharged
in 4 Fob. For it appears ®, that he then came to
a.new Contract for the ſame, viz. To pay the
Money by a hundred marks per anrrm ; and
moreover, to give the King ten Palfreys, and ten
Leaſe of Grey-hounds.

After this, ſcil. in 5 Fob. being made Gover-
nor * of the Caſtle of Roche-Andellt in France
(which King Richard the Firſt built) he heldY it
out courageouſly againſt the French for atimc:;

But at length for * want of ViQual, became nece(-

lings, for Forty ſeven Fees , and a fourth part,
which were the Fees of Richard de M et,
whoſe Heir he then had in Ward.

In the ! time of this Roger, Ranuiph, Earl of
Cheſter, the laſt of that name, marching with
ſome Forces. into TUales 3 for want of more
ſtrength, was conſtrained to betake himſelf un-
to a Caſtle.in thoſe parts ( viz. Rothelan, )
where being beſieged by the Welſh , he ſent for
this Roger, then at Theſter, to come to his re-
lief : Who, forthwith ' gathering ® together di-
vers Minſtrels, and a multitude of looſe people,
advanced thitherward 3 which ſo alarmed the
Welſp, ſuppoſing them to have been Soldiers,
that they ſoon Wa " their ſiege. The Earl thert-
fore for this good ſervice, by his Conſtable, gave
© him the Patronage of all the Minſtrels in thoſe
parts 3 which he and his Heirs have ever after
retained, but conferred P upon Datton his
Steward, and his Heirs, the execution of that
Authority.

Thus far my Author 3 but herein there is ſome
miſtake (as I think) which I ſhall endeavor to
rectifie > adding ſome farthcr Circumſtances for
the better illuttration of that ſtory, —*

Certain it is, that Hxgh, the firſt Earl of
Thefter of that name, after the Norman Con-

ueſt (to whom, after ages, for diſtinction, added

< Ibid. 302 4. the ſirname of Lzpw) in his Charter 4 of Foun-

dation of the Abbey of S. Werburge at Cheſter,
vouchſafed ſuch a Priviledge to thoſe, who
ſhould come to Cheſter Fair 3 as that they
might not be apprehended for Theft, or'any other
miſdemeanor, during, the time of the Fair ; un-
leſs the crime were committed therein. Which
ſpecial Protection, occaſioning a multitude of
looſe people to reſort thither, ar that timez as it
afterwards hapned , was of no ſmall benefit to
one of his Succeſſors : For Ranwlph, the laſt of

ory . that name, marching * into CUales, with a

penes

lender attendance ; and therefore neceſſitated
C to betake himſelf to his Caſtle of Rotyelan,
to which, the Welſh forthwith laid fiege 3 in that
diſtreſs, ſent * to the Conſtable of Wheſter for
help: Who, making uſe of the Minſtrels of all
ſorts, then met at Cheſter Fair 3 by the allure-
ment of their Muſick, got together a vaſt num-
ber of ſuch looſe people, as, by reaſon of the be-
fore ſpecified Privildge were then in that City,
whom he forthwith fent under the conduct of
Dutton (his Steward) towards Rotheian, Of
whoſe approach, the Welſh having advertiſement,
ſu them alſo to be armed, roſe from: the
v (icge, whereby the Ear] was delivered from that
anger,

This is reported to have been done in the
time of Roger, Conſtable of Theſter » and
perhaps it was: But moſt certain it is, That it
was Jobn, Conſtable of Cheſter (Son to that
Roger) who, for the.Reaſons above expreſſed,
had the Patronage of (that rabble given him, in
memory thereof, by that Earl; and thereupon
granted * the ſame to Hugb de Dutton (his Ste-
ward) and his Heirs, by the name of Magiſterium

which Juriſdion hath ever ſince been, and till
is thus uſed, wiz. That at Midſummer Fair there,

(10 Edw.2.) being at Caneto2D i Com. Dor-

challenged her for his Wife z confidently aftirm-
ing, That he had carnally known her, before

not, Whereupon he grew ſo bold, to make
claim to the Earldoms of Lincoln and Saltg-

brought to the Pope, he ſent two Cardinals to
make peace betwixt the King and his Barons,

R aphe de Cayneto, whe eame into England.,with
the Conquerour) and widow i of Hwgh de Creſcy,
had * by her a fair Inheritance in J202folk , and
was | Sheriffe of that _ and of DUftolk,
in 3-4- and 5. Ric.1. as alſo for half thefixth year
of that King. So likewiſe ® in 10R. r. and
1 Fob. And in 9 Ric. 1. obtained a grant ® from
the King-of the mannour of EC v2e Com Buck,
to hold to himſelf and his heirs, by the ſervice
of one Knights tee.

In the ſame firſt year of K. Fohn,this Robert ob-
tained a confirmation ® of the Caſtle and Man-
nour of CUerkewo2th beforc mentioned, hald
of the Crown by the ſecivice of one Knights fee 3
as alſo of the mannour'of Clavering in Eſſex,
held by the like ſervice 3 and likewiſe of the man-
nour of CEWre, in Com. Buck, and the Advowſon
of the Church, held alſo by one Knights fee. And,
at the ſame time gave ? three hundred Marks to
the King, for leave to marry the younger daugher
of Hubert de Rie ( a great man in J!202folk, )
to his nephew 3 ſo the Record calls him, though
qhe was no other than his wifes ſon (ſcil. Roger
de Creſci) by Hugh de Creſci her former huſ-
band. The iſſue of whom, at length failing * 3
this Robert ſucceeded * in the inheritance and
the whole Barony of Do2sford, in J2021totk,
in right of the before ſpecified Margaret de Che-
ey, his wie. ;

In 2 Foh. he executed * the Shireeves office,
for the County of JNozthumberland, tor halt
that year: and upon ® levying the firſt Scutage,
after the Coronation of King Fobx accounted *
for 121 marks, and an haltfe, tor the Knights tees
belonging to the Honour of T1Khill 3 that Scu-
tage being aſſeſſed at two marks for each Knights
fee: And in the ſame ſecond year of King Fobn,
executed * the Shiriffes Office for J202folk, and
Suffolk, for half that year. So alſo 7 for I201-
thumberland, for the third, fourth, fifth, ſixth,
ſeventh, eighth, ninth, tenth, eleventh, twelveth,
and thirteenth years of King Fobn;and again * for
J2o2tolk and Suffolk, for 14 Fob. and half the
fhftcenth year. 6

In 5 oh. he obtaincd a grant * from the
King, of the mannour of J2ewburne in JNoz:
thumberland, to hold by the ſervice of one
Kights fee. And in 6 Foh. of ® the mannour of
Co2ebuge in Fee-farme, for the antient Rent
and ten pound increaſe: As alſo © the inheri-
tance of the mannour of Roblirte, with the
woods belonging thereto, with exemption 4
from any Regard of the Foreſt 3 but not to be
waſted, and with liberty © for the King to hunt
in them.

In 7 Joh. he had alſo a grant * from that
King, of the mannour of Dwauton, with the
whole Barony, which formerly belonged to Ro-
bert de Crammavill ; to hold to himſclfe and his
heirs, by the ſervice of three Knights fees 3 but
this was only upon condition 8, as it ſeems
viz. in caſe this Robert de Cramarill did not make
performance to the King of what was expected
he ſhould. And in 9 Foh. was acquitted * of
one Hundred marks, whercin he ſtood indebted
to King Richard the firſt, for a grant of the mar-
riage of Roger de Creſſy (his wites ſon) and had ' a
farther day given him for the | pagrny of three
Hundred marks, which he owed to the King, for
the wardſhip and marriage of the heirs of Henry
de Vere. So that in 13 Joh. upon levying * the
vcutage of ({Iales, this Robert Fitz-Roger an-

|

[wered | for three Knights fees , which appcr-
tained to Robert de Crammavill, two tor Jews
bourne , and Robirt , and one tor (Uerk-
wo2th,

In 14 oh. he adhered ® to the turbulent ſpiri-
rited Barons : whereupon the King threatucd ®
the ſeiſure of all his lands but it ſeerncs he was
ſoon reclaimed 3 for the next enſuing year, I find
that he again executcd ® the Office of Sheriffe
in J202folk and Suffolk 3 fo allo for $202:
thumberland, |

This Robert founded P the Priory of Lang-
ley, i» Com. Norff. tor Canons Regular of the
Premon(tatenſian order: and in, 16 Fob, depar-
ted 4 this life 3 whereupon Margaret his wife ſur-
viving him gave * a tine of a Thouſand pounds

to the King, to have livery of her own inheri- /

tance, whereof her ſaid husband was ſciſed at
his death and not © be compelled to marry a-
gain 3 as alſo to enjoy * her dower, according to
the cuſfome of the Kingdome.

To him ſucceeded Fohn his ſon and heir,
commonly called Fob: Fitz-Robert ; unto whom
King fohn, in the fourtcenth year of his rcigne ,
ratihed ® the grant of the Cattle and mannour
ot (WUerkwo2th, made by King Hemry the fe-
cond to Roger Fitz-Kichard, his Grandfather ;
as alſo of the mannvur of Clavering, granted
to him by the ſame King. So likewiſc * thoſe
grants of the mannors of Robtrie, and ſ2ew-
burne, Qualton, with the Barony, and Co1-
bugge. -

This obs in 17 Joh. was joyned * with Job
Marſhall, in the Sheriffs office for J202f0lk, and
Suffolk, for half that year 3 and, together with
him , made ' goyernour Y of the Caſtſes of J202-
wich and D2tf02D., But adhering * to the rebel-
lious Barons, was, the ſame year (as one of the
cheif * in that defeQion) a party ® to thoſe Co-
venants, then made betwixt that King and them
(unto which, by reaſon of their ſtrength he was
conſtrained to ſubmit ) whereby he was in effec,
deveſted of his Regal power. Yea ſo tirmly did
he ſlick to that rebcllious party, as that he was
© one of thoſe 25 made choice of by the relt,
for excerciling the Royall authority 3 for which
his lands being ſeiſcd into the Kings hands, his
mannor of Atnho, - in Com. Northampton, was
granted 4 to Thomas de IWWalerie.

s Howbeit, in 1 Hey, 3. returning * to obedi-
ence , head reſtitution f of them again 3 and in
7 Hey. 3. obtained licenſe 8 that the market ,
which had been uſually kept upon the Sunday,
at his mannor of TWerkwozth, ( which was
one of his principal ſeats) ſhould be held upon
the Wedneſday every week. And the next ycar
following, procured a Charter ® for a Faire, at
his Mannor of Stokefley, (in Pozkſhire, )
yearly upon the Eve and day of the Tranſlation

| of St. Thomas the Martyr: as alſo a releaſe i of

ſx Marks, which were due by him to the King
for the Scutage of Jontgomeriet And in

berland, and governor of the town of J2ew:
caſtle upon Tine in which truſt he conti-
nued |! for the tenth, eleventh, and half of the
ewelveth year of that Kings Reign.

Moreover, in 13 Hen. 3. he was ® one of thoſe
Northern Barons, to whom the King ſent ſpccial
commaed to wait upon Alexander K. of SC0t-
land, at Barwick upon TweTe, and for his

more ſecure conduct.to attend him ® unto Pozk,

But of this Robert, I have not ſcen any other
memorial, than that Coucher-book of Belvoir
recordeth Þ : which is, that bearing a' venerable
eſtcem to our ſometime much celebrated Engliſh-
protomartyr S. Alban, he founded near to this
his Caſtle, a Priory for Monks and annexed it,
as a Cell to that great Abby in Hartfordſhire ,
formerly erced by the devout King Off, in
honor of that moſt holy man : the particular
circumſtances touching which pious work are
thus related by that Regiſter 3 viz. that this Ro-
bert (who is there called © Robert de Belvedeir )
having begun the Church of our Lady near to
that Caſtle; and, being through ſecular imploy-
ments ſo hindered, that he could not attend the
' finiſhing of it, according to his minde 3 by the
advice of the Venerable Lanfrank, then Arch-
biſhop of Canterbury, diſpoſcd of it unto the
Church of S. Alban ; upon condition 9, that Pal,
the then Abbot, ſhould perfe@ it, and place there-
in four Monks of that Covcnt, to pray for the
Souls of Earl Robert (i.e. of M92ton and Com:
wall) and K. Wi!l.as alſo for his own Soul, and
the Soul of Adels his Wife, their Children and
Parents : whereupon he and his wife were ad-
mitted into the fraternity of that great Abby,
as abſolutely as any of the Covent , with pro-
miſe, that © after their reſpeQive deceaſes, in
caſe they ſhould dye in England, their bodies
ſhould, by Teave of the Abbot, be buried, cither
at' St. Albans, or in that Church of our Lady
at Belvoltr : their bounty being ſo great to
thoſe places 3 that whereſoever either of them
ſhould die, the Church of St. Alban, and this

of our Lady at Belvoir, were to have part of

their cſtates, to be diſpoſed of, as the Abbot and
Monks of St. Albans ſhould appoint.

As to the particulars wherewith, at preſent,
he endowed this Church of our Lady at Bel:

votr , they were theſe f; viz. the Town of

Do2ingwald with its appurtenances,in as ample
manner, as he had it of the King. Likewiſe, ad-
jacent to this his Caſtle at Þelvoir, four ca-
rucates of Land, with the Meadows theret@-bc-
tonging, and twenty Acres of Land near the
Church, whereon to erect out-houſes and other
buildings for the conveniency of the Monks ; all
which to be as free from any exaCtion, as he

himſelt had the ſame trom the King.

|

Moreover he then gave untothem the Tithes
of all his Vinyards, and the ſeat of a Mill upon
the next River: as alſo the Tithes of ten Towns,

=_u of cach Pariſh Prieſt : the Towns whereof
e (o gave theſe Tithes, being theſe 3 viz. Þ Dot»
tune, Frantune, Sapertune, Riſendune,
Stokes, and (Ulberftone, and one man in
each, with a Garden, and one Ox-gang of land.
In Segetune', the whole Tithes, and eight
Acres of Land ( four lying on one fide of the
Town, and four on the other) with one Gar-
den. In Wedburne, the Tithe only ; In GUt-
welle, the Tithes and one Ox-gang, of Land,
with one man and his Garden 3 and the Tithes
i of Wilſtaneſtozp.

All which Lands he gave free and exempt
from any Cuſtome whatſoever 3 with command,
that in each Town the Church ſhould have the
Meadows near unto it, and paſturage in as ample
manner, as he himſcelt ever had.

And * after the death of Adela his Wife, he
alſo granted to this Church of our Lady at Bel-
votr, with the conſent of his (ons William and
Geffrey, one Carucate of Land in DSapertune,
for the health of her Soul 3 with as large privi-
ledges as he had givtn the reſt.

By this Adela he had iſſue four Sons; viz.
William \, Beringar ®, Geffrey ©, and Robert? ; and
one Daughter named Agnes 4%, who was Wife
to Hubert de Rye (a great man in Lincolnſhire)

was buricd * in the Chapter-houſe at Bel-
voir,

obſerved, is 3 that Beringar had ® divers Lord-
ſhips in the Ggunty of Potk , as alſo * the
Mannors of Adelingtone in Lincoineſhire ;
B2oghtune and Doznelte in * Oxfowdſhire;
and Stoches, Streſtune and Bzodeholme
in ? Notinghamſhire 3 and that he was a
ſpecial BenefaGtor to the Abby of S. Maries in
Po k, by the gift * of one Carucate of Land
in

an half in Rirkby-Miſterton, three in Dal-
by, ſix Ox-gangs in Skakelden, one Caru-
cate and half in BLC; eighty Acres in Byn-
b2UCc, nine * Carucates and. an halfe in Fpn-
mare ; four” Carucates in Dunkleby 3 all his
Tithes of Dalton half a Carucate near Che-
vermunt, and * the Church of Bunib}oc,
Of Robert, that he gave © to this Cell of Bel:
volr, thirty iicks of Eeles, te. be paid yearly
on S. Matthias day, out of his Mills at Aburne.
And that Agnes his Daughter did ratifie 9 the
grants, which her ſaid Father and Mother had
made to the Monks at Belvoir, of one Ox-
gang of Land in Aſchekehby, and two parts

| of the Tithes of the demeſnes there, in Corn,

Calves, Lambs, Wooll, Cheeſe, Pigs, Bees, and
Apples 3 and ot whatſoever &lfe was Tithable ,
that Lordſhip being of her Marriage portion.

I now come to William, his ſucceſſor in this
Barony.

That this William was any other than his im-
mediate Son and Heir, I doubt not at all ; though
it doth not appear for -what reſpe& he bore a
different Curname from his Father z being called
William de Albany, with the addition of Brito:
for, that Robert Fs Todenei, had a Son and Heir

aamed William, is evident * enough; as alſo that
he

of all ſorts to Tithable grain 3 excepting a third -

and departing * this life the ſecond Nones of 279% ui

veyor, held in Dungreton 3 and the Tithe of
the Rents of all his Lands, in what ſort ſoever,
payable to himſelf or his heirs for the time to

That he had the addition of Brito , whereſo-
ever mention is made of him, is very apparent
by ſundry authentique Teſtimonies 3 the rea-
ſon thereof being , becauſe - thexe was at that

dition of Pincerna 3 in reſpe& of that great of-
fice of Butler to the Kings of this Realm, at
their Coronation, which he bore, as I ſhall el{-

This William de Albini Brito, is he who be-
haved himſelfe with ſuch valor in the Battle of
Tenercheb2ay, in Nozmandy, on the be-
half of King Herry the firſt againſt Robert Crer-
thoſe ( of which Batle I have ſpoke largely in

ved 8 with much joy, by the reſt of thoſe Ba-
rons, was by them made ® choice of (as a perſon
moſt valiant-and expert in Armes ) to be Go-
vernor of Rocheſter Calile (by®%the treachery
of the then Archbiſhop of Canterbury, deli-

for more in regard: the King came within three

days upon them with bis Army, conſiſting moſt

| of Poilovins, Gaſcoines, with a great number out

of Lovain,Byabant, and Flanders3 and be-
girt it with a ſtraight ſeige 3 they defended
themſelves with all valor imaginable 3 making
divers bold fallies; with hope to. have relict
from the reſt of the Barons of their party, who
then were at London. Howhbeit, when they
{aw no likelyhood thereof 3 and that the Kings
forces had , by undermining, thrown down
their outer Walls, and made upon them a fierce
affault; ſuch was their valor (though wearied

that they courageouſly beat them off. And at
the laſt this hardy William, and thoſe other of
the Nobles who were then with him, account-
ing it moſt diſhonorable to periſh by Famine,
when they could not be vanquiſhed by force (all
their food being ſpent) came out of the Caſtle,
and ſubmitted themſelves to the King, upon the
tcaſt day of S. Andrew the Apoſtle.

But the King, by reaſon of the vaſt charge he
had been at in that ſeige (which continued little
leſs then three Months ) and loſs of many of
his Souldiers, that had been flain therein z was
ſo highly enraged , that without any mercy, he
commanded * that a!l the Noble men ſhould
be hanged. Which ſevere ſentence was fo di-
ſtaſted - S avaricus de Malloleone, a noble Poi«
covin (then one of the chief commanders in the
Kings Army )' that he boldly told the King,
that the Warr being not yet ended, he ons 4
well to confider the uncertain chance thereof:
adding that if he hanged theſe ; the Barons (his
adverſaries) might upon the like advantage ,
deal as cruelly with thoſe of his y, which
might occaſion a totall deſertion of him. Where-
upon the King, well weighing the Danger, for-
bore the execution of that his ſharp ſentence 3
and inſtead thereof committed ! this our Wi-
liam de Albini , William de Lancaſter, Thomas de
Muleton, Osbert Giffard, and divers other Noble
perſons unto the Cuſtody * of Peter de Mauley ;
who ſent ſome of them to the Caſtle of Coxff,
there to be kept under ſtrit impriſonment z and
ſome to the Caſtile of Notingham,

It is obſerved by my Author ®; that the
King with ſome of his chief Commanders, one
day going about this Caſtle of Rocheſter. to
view the ſtrength thereof z was diſcerned by
an excellent 'Bow-man, who thereupon asked
this William de Albini, whether he ſhould kill bim
with bis Arrow, that he had then in readineſs ;
and that he anſwered No, As alſo, that the
Bow-man replied, He would not fare us, if be
had the like advantage. To whom William re-
turned, Gods will be done, who will diſpoſe and
ot be. |

During the reſtraint of this William.at CoQf,

it, that if they infiſted on any conditions , the

upon Nicholas de Albini, one of his Sons (who
was a Clerk in Orders ) taking with him Six
Hugh Charnels Knight , to preſerve his Fa-
ther from that miſerable Death , carried 4 the

they with their Horſe and Arms remain in
pcace» Which being promiſed, and the Caſtle
ſo rendred, the King marcht forthwith thither,
and committed ito the cuftody * of Geffrey de
Butville, and Oliver his brother (two Poidtovins )
taking the oath of fidelity of all others he left
therein.

Whilſt he was thus priſoner at Coyf, his
Mannor of Dftington, being ſeiſed on by the
King, was given f to William Earl Warren for
the hetter defence of his Caſtle of Stanfo2d,

It is farther obſervable * of this William de
Albini, that ſtanding firmly with the other Ba-
rons in oppolition to King Fobx, he was one of
thoſe, that Pope Innocent the third then excom-
municated by name, for ſo doing 3 whoſe ſen-
tence bears date at Lateran, 17 Kal. ax. the
ſame year. But his ſtout heart being at length
humbled, he gave ® a hne of fix thouſand marks
for his liberty : which ſumme of money was
raiſed * by Agatha Trusbut his Wife, out of his
own Lands the King commanding *, that they
ſhould be delivered into her hands for that pur-
poſe z with power * to (ell and mortgage of
them what ſhould be needfull: ſending like-
wiſe his ſpecial precept Y to all his Tenants, to
give him effeCtual aid towards the Raiſing of
that great Summe,

Having thus made fine to King Fob» for his
redemption, he thought it his ſafeſt way to be
quiet 3 and therefore ſubmitted himſelf peace-
ably to King Heyxry the third. But being not
well co be truſted, was conſtrained to yeild * up
his Wife Agzthe, for an hoſtage 3 and after, in
her ſtcad, his Son ®* Nicholas the Prieſt. How-

beit, ere Jong, he grew in ſuch eſteem with that '

King 3 that be was made one bf the cheif Com-
manders in his Army in that memorable Battle
of Lincoln, in the year 1217 ( being the firſt
ycar of his Reign) where the rebellious Barons
with Lewes of France (whom they had
brought in with purpoſe to be made King )
were totally overthrown. And afterwards had
the Caſtle of AZuletgn (in Com. Linc. ) and all

- the Lands and fees of Thomgs de Muletox (one of

thoſe Barons) committed to his cuſtody Þ with
Lands and Fees, the King had feized on as an
Eſcheat': and fhantly after, in conſtderation <of
a Palfrey, which he gave to the King (then at
Blthe in Com. Noting. ) obtained 9 the ward-
ſhip.and marriage of Hygb ſon and heir to Hen-
ry de Nevill ( 4zgreat man.in that time ) then
4n tnority, |

This Wulliam for © the health of his Soul, and
the 'Soul of XHgmtbs then his Wite 3 but eſpeci-
ally * for the 'Soul of Margery his former wile,
gave to the: Monks of Belvoir, one (heat of
every kind of Grain, ariſing out of all his Lands
belonging tohis Lordſhips of Belvoir, CUul-
Kowp , 'Botelesfow, Oskington , and
Stokes. Morcover, tor ® the health of his

of him I have not ſeen any thing farther me-
morable ,' than that he had two Wives; Al-

overcoming many , and wounding one mortally

with his Lance: Which being obſerved by the Q.,

ſhee became exceedingly enamoured of him 3
and forthwith invited him to a coſtly Banquet,
and afterwards beſtowing, certain Jewels upon
him, offered him Marriage. But having plighted
his troth to the Queen of Englanv, then a
Widow, refuſed her. Whercat ſhe grew fo
much diſcontented, that ſhe conſulted with her
Maids, how ſhe might take away his life : and
in purſuance of that deſigne, inticed him into
a Garden, where there was a ſecret Cave, and
in it a feirce Lion, unto which ſhe deſcended
by divers ſteps, under colour of ſhewing him
the Beaſt. And when ſhe told him of his
feirceneſs 3 he anſwered, that it was a womaniſh
and not manly quality to be affraid thereof.
But having him there, by the advantage of a
folding dore, thruſt him into the Lion. Being
thercſore 4in this danger, he rolled his Mantle
about his Arm 3 and putting his hand into the
mouth of the Beaſt, pulled out his Tongue by
the root; which done he followed the Queen
to her Palace, and gave it to one of her Maids
to _ to her,

ctutning/ thereupon into England , with-

the fame of this glorious Exploit 3 he was forth-
with advanced to the Earledome of Arundel,
and for his Arms the Lion given him. Nor
was it long after that, the Queen of England,
accepted him for her Husband, whoſe name was
z Adelizz, Widow to King Hemry the firſt, and
Daughter to Godfrey Duke of Lozeftti. Which
Adelizz had * the Caſtle of Arundell, and
County, in Dowry from that __
Whereupon , reſiding there 3 and bearing a

great reſpe&t to Maude the Empreſs, (Daugh- |

tcr to King Henry) he ſollicited > her com
into this Realmz and received © her together
with Robert Earl of Glouceſter, her Brother,
at the Port of Arundell, in Auguſt ann. 1139.
(4 Steph.) Moſt probable therefore it is 3 that,
for this great ſervice he was by her advanced to
the Earldome of ArunDell ; tor in the report
which is made © of K. Steph. taking of William
de Mandevil at S. Albans, in an.1142(7 Steph.)
it is ſaid, that before he could be laid hold on,
he underwent a ſharp Skirmifh with the Kings
party, wherein the Earl of Arunvell, though
a ſtout and expert Souldier , was unhorſed
the midſt of the watef;by IV alkeline de Oxeai, and
almoſt-drowned. Affer which, viz. in a0 1150.
(15/Steph.) he wrote © himſelf Earl of Chiche-
ſer 3 but in 18 Steph. was tiled 8 Earl of A-
runvell , upon a very memorable otcafion 4
viz, that , when Henry Duke of Momigudp
(afterwards King, by the name of Herry the ſe-
cond) having-invaded and, and _
to releive allingfo2d: aſtle, then beſeige
\ by King Stephen (which cauſed the King to draw
his Artny together, to give battle to-the Duke.)
It hapning, that the King, being in the head
thereof, his Horſe ſo reared, that he overthrew

him 3 and that when he got up again, he ſer-

ved him fo a ſecond, and third time. It
cauſed no. little aſtoniſhment to all the beholders

whereupon this Earl William, exprefſed himſelf

thus in effeR. -

., _ It is apparent from what we have now ob-
2 ſerved thatyit will not be ſafe for us to give
g Battle to the Duke : firſt in regard, that the

juſtneſs of the quarrel is on his fide 3 and next

* that thoſe who are diſherited will fight the
* more deſperately. Moreover, if it be conſi-
* dered, that there are in each Army, not only
** Kinſmen and Nephews 3 but Brothers againit
* one another; If we joyn Battle, it cannot be
* avoided, but many will be guilty of little leſs
* than parricide 3 Let theretore this pernicious
*fury of a Civil Warr be ſet aſide 3 and hit per-
* ſons choſen to compoſe all differences z with
* a ceſſation of Armes, for the preſent, to the
x = theſe animoſities may be calmely appea+-
Which Speech reliſhed fo well with the King,
and all others then there 3 that, upon a Treaty,
ſhortly after enſuing, Peace was concluded be-
twixt them.
And after the death of King Stephen, when
Henry enjoyed the Crown of this Realm, he
ſtood ſo fair in his favour 3 that he did not only

obtain . ® the Caſtle and Honor of Arundel ,
| to himſelf and his heirs but a confirmation of 5
the Earldom of Suſſex, (for though the title of **'***

Earl was moſt known, by Arundell, and Thi-
chefter, at which places his chief reſidence uſed
to bez yet it was of the County of Sliſlex,
that he was really Earl ) by the Tertixm Dena-
rizm of the pleas of Duſler, granted * to him;
which was the uſual way of inveſting ſuch great
men (in antient times ) with the poſſeſſion of

'any Earldom, after thoſe ceremonies of girding,

with the Sword, and putting on the Robes per-
formed, which have ever, till of late, been thought
eſſential to their creation.

That which I find farther memorable of him
in this Kings Reign is i that in am. 1164.
(10 Hen. 2.) upon that high diſpleaſure, con-
ceived by the King towards Thomas Becker, then
Archbiſhop of Tanterbury, whereupon Becker
oulvicely fed beyond Sea; this Earl William ,
with divers Biſhops and others, was ſent to the
King of France, and to the Pope, with Letters
from King Henry z repreſenting him to be fled
as a Traitor 3 and detiring that King that he
would not receive him into any of his Terri-
tories 3 Alſo intreating the Pope, that he would
not give credit to his ſuggeſtions. Likewiſe ,
after they came to the ; at Denes (in

Tuſcany ) where the Bifhops repreſented the
great miſdemeanors of Becket, which the Pope

endeavored to extenuate: and that the Biſhop
of Exeter defired that his Holineſs would
appoint certain Legates to hear and determine
bs, Ot buſineſs, this Earl flood forth, and
ald 3

<« Sir, we being illiterate, are ignorant what
« the Biſhops have expreſſed; bur we are not
< to be inſtruſted, to what purpoſe we are ſent.
* We come not to do any thing contumeliouſl
© in the preſence of { great a perſon, to whoſe
© auth the whole world doth ftoop : but we
© are to declare, in the preſence of this whole
* Court, how great a devotion our King hath
©« born, and doth bear to your Holineſs; and ,

| © that if he could have found out any perſons

< more great and Noble to have fi the
<« (ame, than theſe now ſent, he would have im-
* ployed them on this Errand.

And then, after he had magnified the Pope for
his great abilities, he concluded with very tem-
perate expreſſions concerning Becket 3 beſeeching,
that his Holineſs would vouchſafe to uſe his be

” | endeayor for the reconciling of this difference. *

Duke *f No2mandy ; and was, after his Con-
queſt, oneof thoſe Captains 9, who marcht with
him into Nozthumberiand. The Lands which
he poſſeſſed by the bounty of that King, were
theſe; viz. © the Lordſhips of Tillevcry and
Ope, in Huckingam fre Crawelat,
Tingret , Pzeſtelai , Herlingdone , VYer-

Do2nflau and Aldziceſcta, in Bedfozdſhire:
Aldulveſtreu and Altone in Warwtcklhire ;
and Sele and Ountone, in Letceſterſhire,

Moreover, he was a Servant * in Court to
King William Rufus, holding the office of Bow-
bearer to him : and being -# girt with the Sword
of Knighthood by King Hevry the *hrſt had the
Mannor of Egmanton, with divers Parks in
the Foreſt of @hirewoo? of his gift *®: which
Lordſhip, after a ſhort time, he gave * to his
ſpecial friend Robert D*avil; But when King
Henry had farther cxperience * of his great Va-
lor, and military Skil, he augmented his bounty
to him : and enfeoffed | him of the Vavaſlories
of Camvile and (Uyvile 3 which fo endeared
him to that King, that he ſpared not to ad-
venture his life in his quarrell, in the moſt pe-
rilous encounters 3 as is manifeſt by that his ſignal
performance in the famous Battle of Tener-
ched2ap, being the laſt of thoſe conflicts which
King Henry had with his brother Curthsſe where
this Nigel ſlew m his Horſe, and brought him cap-
tive ® to King Henry whereupon he obtained
by the gift ® of that King, all the Lands of
Robert Baron of Fronteboek, viz. Stutevile
in England, which by that adherence to Cxr-
thoſe, Fromeboef had fortcited,

And afterwards, King Henry beſciging ? a
Caſtle in J202mandy 3 this Valiant Nzge/ firſt
entred 4 the ſame and delivered it to his hands:in
farther remuneration of which ſervice he beftow-
cd* on him all the lands of Kobert ds Molbray Earl
of J20zthumberland, both in J2021mundy,
and England, then forfeited by reaſon of Mol-
brays conſpiracies: as alſo all his Caſtles ; and
\ moreover the Caſtle of BAYEUr, with its ap-
purtenances ſo that then he had * no leſs than
an hundred and twenty Knights Fees in J202-
mandy, and as many in Engtand.

Beſides all this, it is evident, that all thoſe
large poſſeſſions of Geffrey de I irce ; viz. ® twelve
Lordſhips in (Clarwtckſhire. twenty (even in

ſhire, whercof the Iſle of {Cholme was part ,
came to the hands of this Nigel, ( whether by
forfciture* or otherwiſe I cannot ſay ) which
were enjoycd, for many ages, by his poſterity.

were of great extent ( eſpecially in the north )

Alſo the year next enſuing he anſwered ® forty
four pounds, two ſhillings, and eight pence, for
the Knights Fees he then held, upon levying the
Scutage of CUAILS, A

Morcover, he confirmed ® the grants made
by Grffrey de Wirce, Nigel de Albin: his Grand-
father, and of Roger de Mowbray his Father, for-
merly made to the Monks of Kirby in TUar-
wickſhire, And gave ® to the Hoſpital of
'Burton-Lazers, 1 Com. Leiceft. the Tith of
all the Meat and Drink ſpent in his Houſe,where-
ſoever he ſhould reſide. |

Likewiſe, to? the Canons of St Mary Overie,
in Southwark, he gave the Church of Ben-
ſtede, with the Churches of (Uuvemarſtone
and Bernes thereunto appertaining 3 which
Churches he had 4 in marriage with Mabel his
Witc.

Affter all which, being ſigned * with the Croſs,
he took a journey © to the Holy-Land, 3 Ric. 1.
but died * before his arival there, upon the Greek
Sea; where his Corps ( being put into a Cofhn,
with an Inſcription thereon, to declare whom
it contained) was caſt % into the Ocean : leaving
iſſue *, by Mabe! his Wife , Daughter to the
Earl of Clare, four ſons viz. * William, Re-
berr, Philip, and Roger: Of which Robert I finde

y that he took to Wife a Countels in Scotland,

who had a fair Inheritance there 3 from
deſcended the Mowbrays of that Kingdom. And
of Koger that in 5 Joh. he obtained a grant F

from the King of the Mannors of Swantham,

Fuſeburne, and Coſfteſey, which were the
Lands of Alan de Roan.

q This #iliam in 6 Ric. 1. paying * an hun-
dred pound for his Relicf, had 2 livery of his
Lands : and the ſameycar accounted Þ fourſcore
and cight pounds, upon the Scutage then levied
for the Kings redemption ; being one © of the
pledges upon that Kings enlargement, for pay-
ment of the remainder of his Ranſom.

And was 4 one of the principle Barons, touch-
ing whoſe affeion to Jebn Duke of J262man-
Dp, npon the death of King Richard the fiſt,
there grew moſt doubt : but coming to * NNo2-
thampton (upon the fammons of Aber: Arch-

f Fealty to him on condition , that he ſhould
render to every man his right.

two thouſand Marks, that he might have equal
right done him, according to the cuſtom of the
Realm 3 which Suites were at length determined
m by King John, and his great
manner 3 viz. that Stwtevill ſhould relinquiſh his
claim tothat Barony of Fronteboet; and in con-
fideration thereof,this William de Mowbray ſhould
paſs unto him nine Knights Fees, and twelve
pounds Rent. All which being done, they were
® made friends at Lug (a Honſe belonging to
che Biſhop of LincoIn in the Province of L1nd-
(ep) on the Sunday called Septwageſſiima in 2 Fob.
But after this, viz. in 17 Job. being conſtituted
Governor * of the Caſfile at P02k 3 the ſame
year he took part ? with thoſe Barons, who
put themſelves in Arms, and required the con-
firmation of their Liberties 3 and becamea par-
ty to 1 the Covenants, then made between them
and the _ (whereof I ſhall make farther men-

thoſe twenty five (and his Brother Roger ano»
ther) who ſwore to the performance of that
Charter then granted by the King at Rlinnt-
mede ; which, in regard it was by force ex-
torted, cauſed the King to refuſe the obſervance
thereof 3 as alſo to fortify © divers Caſtles, and
raiſe * what power he could for his own aid :;
whereupon he ſent ® Meſſengers to the Pope,

he had been dealt with : the Pope therefore much

Neither did the fury of this William , and

Is 6 Edw.2, this Fob, being, Sheriff of PO2k-
(hire, and Governor of the City of Pak, rc-

. ceived command © from the King, to ſeize upon

Hemry de Percy (thena great Baron in the North)
tor that he had ſuffercd Piers de Gaveſton, Earl of
CT0omwal, to make his eſcape out of Scar-
boounh Caſtle ; in which, the ſaid Hexrry un-
dertook he ſhould be ſafe kept, having rendred
himſelf to him on that condition,

In 7 Edw. 2.' he was f in another expedition,
then made into S\cOt{and 3 and then conſti-
tutcd 3 one of the Wardcns of the Marches, to-
wards that Kingdom : In which year he had Li-
ccnſe ® to ſend his Brother Alexander, with Horſe
and Foot , to the aſſiſtance of David, Earl of
Athol, againſt Edward de Brus, betwixt whom
there was at that time great animoſities:

In $ Edw.2. he received Sutntmons i from the
King, to repair to Newcaſtle upon Tine,
on the Fealt of the Nattvity 6f our Lady, with
Horſe and Arms, to curb 'the' inſolency of the
Scots. And, .conlidering.* the great charge he
had been at .in maintaining 'of Horſe for the ſe-
curity of POzkſhfre, when he.was Sheriff of
that County the King allowed ! him to receive
the yearly Revenue of the Lordſhips of Jen;
reth, and Soureby in Tindale# Com. Cum.
until the ſun of Five hundred marks ſhould be
madc good to him. 5 |

In 10 Edw. 2. he had command ® to Array

Dffrodcros, SDtaincroſs, Barkeſton, gg-

btuigge, and Pozlep, and the Soke of

”

Snapthe, i Com. Ebor. in oxder to another ex-
pedition-into @COtland,

And in 11 Edw.2. was conſtituted ® Governor
of Malton Caſtle in Pozkſhire. So alſo ® of
Scarbozough Caſtle in that County.

In 12 Edw. 2. he was P again in Scotland,
in the Kings ſervice, with power 4 to receive all
ſuch into prote&tion, who ſhould ſubmit to King
Edward.

In 14 Edw. 2. there aroſe a great controverſie
touching certain poſſeſſions in (Uales, called
Gowherland, whereunto this Fobn laid claim,
in right of Aliva his Wife : From which ſpark
there proceeding no little flame, I ſhall here take
leave to ſay * ſomething thereof. |

William de Brewes, Father to this Aliva, being
a Knight of a very noble Extraction, and Poſ-
ſeſſor, by Inheritance, of a goodly Barony in the
Marches of (Uales 3 having by laviſh courſcs
much waſted his Patrimony 3 and at this time
ſetting that part of his Inheritance called GOW:-
herland on ſale 3 firſt made a contra&t with the
Earl of Derefo2d for theſame, in regard it lay
very fit for him 3 and afterwards with two other
potent men, viz. © Roger de Morwmer the Uncle,
and Roger his Nephew, who knew nothing of
the former bargain with the Earl of Yerefo2d,
Amongſt which, this Fobn de Moubray laid his
claim, in right of Aliva his Wife before-menti-
oned : But Hugh de Spencer the younger (at that
time Lord Chamberlain to the King , and no.
ſmall favorite) coveting theſe Lands, in regard
of their vicinity to his own, dealt with William
de Brewes ; and through his power at Court,
kept the poſſeſſion of them, notwithſtanding the
former bargains made with others, and the claim
of this Fobn de Mowbray, which cauſed thoſe great
Lords to be much incenſed againſt the faid Hugh
de Spen:er , infomuch, as complaining of the in-
jury to Thomas,then Earl of Lancaſter,they drew
in many great Earls and Barons to their party,
who thercupon took occation to arm themſelves
in a Rebcllious manner.

The farther circumſtances and proceedings
herein, I ſhall refer to our Hiſtorians, and only
point at the ſad iſſue thereof z which was, that
the King having raiſed a powerful Army to cha-
ſtiſe theſe Rebels, divers of them fell * off and
ſubmitted 3 amongſt whom were ® the two Mor-

That in 2 Edw.z. ſhe obtained ® from the King,

late Husband, Fohn de Moxbray, begotten 3 the
Remainder to Humphrey de Bobun, Earl of DDere:

afterwards became the Wife ® of Sir Richard

1.3. Peſbale Knight, and died? in 5 Edw.z.

But Fobn, the Son and Heir of this laſt men-
tioned Fobn and Ativa, found more favor from
King Edward the Thitd : For that King, in the
firſt of His Reign, acknowledging 4 the great

Fore-fathers of the ſaid Fohn had done to his
Royal Progenitors 3 accepted * of his homage
before he came of full age, and gave him Livery
C of his Lands. Whereupon he marched * into
Scotland, in the expedition that year made.

In 5 Edw.3. this Fob», upon the death of his
Mother, gave ® Three hundred pounds Fine, for

King having had an Aid granted to him towards
his Expedition into the WOlp Land, confirmed
the two famous Charters, ſcil. Magna Chart,
and Charta de Forefta : To the firict obſerva-
tion whereof, having given his Oath, a ſolemn

Traytor adding, If you do nothing but what the
Law warrantetb, you can do me no harm, Ter,
quoth the King, I can thraſh your Corn, aud ſell
it, and ſo humble you. To which he replied, If
you do ſo, I will ſend you the Heads of your Thraſh-

ſent, this heat ſoon aſſed over 3 ſo that (ſhort!
after) he was, together with the Earl of Let-
ceſiter, and ſome others, ſent | on an Ambaſſie
to the King of France, to treat with him for
the reſtoring ſome Rights, which he withheld
from the King,

And in 42 Hey. 3. was ® one of the Ambaſſa-

But before I proceed to ſpeak farther of him,
ſhall take notice of what I find memorable of
Hugh his Father.

In 39. H. 3 he gave® to the King five hun-
drcd marks to be Chcit Ranger of the Foreſt of
Farnedale 3 and that he might * have liber-
ty with his Dogs to hunt the Fox, Cat, &c.
throughout all the Kings Foreſts in Pozkſhire.
And in 4o Herr. 3. was Conltituted ® Gover-
nor of the Caſtle ot JAICKeringg in that County.

In.41 Hen. 3. he was P with the King, in that
expcdition then made into CTUales. And in
42 Hen. 3. was made1 Conſtable of the Tow-
cr of London3z At which time the Barons *
confedcrating againſt the Poiftovins ( the |
Kings Halt-Brothers , who bore a great Sway ) |
being very powerfull f, they advanced him to

mous Knight, and Skilltull in the Laws of the

Soon after which, aſſociating ® to himſfclf

cminent Judges of that age) he made * his Iters

With the compaſs of that year, hc was al-

In 44 Hez 3, he gave Y three thouſand pound

Kime, ( agreat man in Lincolnſhire) And

d him therein.

In 47 Hen. 3. he was ! one of thoſe, who ſtood
up with Sim. Montfort Earl of Leiceſter, for
the Libertics of the ſubje& (as they then pre-
tended. ) . And as the King on his part, for
quictneſs fake was content to ſubmit to the de-
termination of Lewes King of France, touch-
ing thoſe Ordinances made by the Barons, cal-
led Proviſiones Oxonitz fo was he ® one of thoſe
who in like fort, became an undertaker for
them. After which, viz. in 48 H. 3. ( being the
next enſuing year) he was © in that fatal Battle
of Lewes, of the Kings part : whenac though
he ſhamefully fled 9, leaving Prince Edward in
the midſt of the Fight 3 ſuch was his thanks from

Nor have I more to ſay of Ralph Bigod his
younger Brother, than that he wedded Y Bert.
Daughter of Furnivall, and that hc had
his reſidence * at Sefrinaton i Com. Ebor.

I now return to Earl Roger (Son of Hwgh laſt
mentioned) Nephew and Hcir to the laſt Earl
Roger. This Roger having taken to Wite * Aliva,
Daughter and Heir ' to Phi/ip Baſſet ( Juſtice
ot England) paid * tor the Relict of
thoſe Lands which were of her inheritance 3 and
doing his Homage, had Livery ® of all that lay
in the Countics of Eſſer, Berks, Orto2d,
Cambadge, Suffolk, Surcey, Southam-
pton, and Buckingham.

In 10 Edr. 1. he was © in the Welch cxpc-
dition *then made. ;

And having had a grant 4 from King, Edward
the firſt, of the Caſtles of Buftol, and J2ot-
tingham, to hold for lite; In 20 Edw. 1. hc
ſurrendred. © them to him again 3 And in 22 E. 1.
obtained the Kings Licence f to embattle his
Manfion-houſe at BUngey in Siiftofk 3 where
there had been a Caſtle formerly demoliſhed, as
I have before obſerved.

In 25 Edward. 1. this ſtout Earl, together

with the Earl of IDerefo2d. were ® the chcif of

thoſe , who oppoſed that Tax which the King
then demanded from his Subjes, for his Ex-
pcdition into Flanders 3 rctuſing to come to
his Parliament, unleſs he would give them ſafe
condud. Saying morcover, that they would not
be compelled to go with him in that voyage.
Inliſting alſo , that he ſhould ratify the Great
Charter, and+ Charter of the Foreſt , and quit that
impoſition of forty ſhillings upon every Sack of
Wooll, which had becn tor three years bctore
cxacted, Furthermore they inhibitcd ® the pai-
ment of the Eighth-penny-Tax which had been

| grantcd to the 99 ; in the Parliament at S, ED-

mundsbury: and incitcd the Londoners, to
ſtand up for their Libertics By which doings,
and the Archhiſhop of Canterburtes help, they
obtained i a Confirmation of thoſe Charters ; as
alſo certain Articles for the farther explaining
of them, which were called Articuli ſuper Cartas,
with pardon * for not attending the King into
Flanders 3 and for all other their miſdemca-
nors.

But after this, ſcl. in 26 E. 1. all diſcontents
being thus compoſed,he went ! again into SCOt-»
land , in that Expcdition then made thither.
And, in 29 Edw.1. having no iſſue, he con-
ſtituted ® King Edward his Heir, delivering un-
to him the Marſhals Rod, upon condition ® to
be rendred back., in caſe he ſhould have any
Children 3 as alſo * to have a Thouſand pounds
from the King in preſent, and a Thouſand pounds
per annum during his litc.

This Aoger in 6 Rich. 1. was * with the King
in 1202mandy, and therefore had a ſpecial dif-

that expedition.

About this time, Rees, Prince of (Uales,

of Caermarthen, as alſo the Caſtles of Caer-
marthen and Clun , and likewiſe belicged
" Radno2. This Koger came with Hugh de Say,
for the rclcif of that place, but was beaten ® with
great loſs, as my Author reporteth. ;

In 16 Fob. he was acquitted P of the Scutage,
then levicd for the expedition into JBOIAOU ;
his Son bcing 1 then in that ſervicc. .

About this time, Howe! , Son of Cadwal-
thon ; and Maydoc, Son of Maylfton 3 pretend-
ing * they had a right to thc Territory of
Melenith in Fee-Ferme 3 for a great ſum of
Money procured * a tryal at Law for the ſame, by
Twelve Knights of the Counties of Heref. and
S.lop but upon full hearing of the cauſe at
Sh2cewsbury, the Right was adjudged * to this
Roger.

upon Prince Lewelin 3 hoping to turn the ſcale

bcllious Party.
But their ſucceſs at Lewes gave them ſuch

Lands of -this Koger.

Sccing therefore his Soveraign in this great
diſtrcſs, and nothing but ruine and miſery at-
ecnding himſelf, and all other the Kings loyal
Subjc&s , he took no relt till he had contrived

ſent * a ſwift Horſe to the Prince, then priſoner
with the King in the Caſtle at Deretozd, with
intimation that he thould obtain leave toride out
for recreation, into a place called {UIiDmerlh 3
and * that upon ſight of a perſon mounted on a
White Horſe, at the foot of Tulington Hill,
and waving his Bonnct (which was the Lord of

Which being ac-

eſcape) ſetting Spurs to that Horſe, he over-
went © themall. Moreover, that being come to
the Park of Tulinton , this Koger met 4 him
with Five hundrcd armed Men 3 and ſeeing
many to purſuc, chaſed © them back to the Gates
of Yeretozd, making great laughter amongſt
them...

Furthermore, that having thus brought off
the Prince with ſafety to his Caſtle at CClg-
mo2e, he was the cheif perſon that gave coun-
tenance to the railing of a powerful Army, con-
ſiting f cheifly of the Welſh; by which, upon
the fourth of Auguit, Ar. 1265. (49 Hen. 3.)
a glorious Victory ® being obtaincd againſt that
inſolent Montfort, and the reſt of his Party, near to
Eveſham in TWozceſterſhire, che King him-
ſc1f was moſt happily ſet at liberty.

By others * this ſtory is related thus, viz. That
this Roger ſent the Prince a ſwift Horſe, for the
purpoſe bcfore-mentioned 3 and that the Prince,
obtaining leave of Montfort, to try if the Horſe
were of uſe for the great Saddle 3 firſt wearied
out other Horſes, and then got on this (a Boy
with two Swords, whom this Roger had ſent,
being near with another Horſe) and fo turning
himſelf to Robert de Ros, then his Keeper, and
other by-ſtandcrs, ſaid, I bave been in your cuſtody
fir a time, but now I bid you farewel; and ſo rode
away : Adding i, that this Roger, wiigh his Ban-
ncr diſplayed, received him at alittle Hill called
Dunmo2, and ſo conveyed him fate to his Calle
at (Uligmo2e,

Certain it is, That in that memorable Batt!c
k of Cveſham , this Roger commanded ! the

Prince coming on upon the one fide, and the Earl
of Gloceſter on the other.

And upon the Twenty ſeventh of Odober fol-
lowing, had, for his taichful ſervices, a Grant

Earl of @rt0}D , ( cxcepting the Mannor of

Flete) at that time forfeited, for taking part with

Montfort, Earl of Leiceſter, in that Rebellious
War.

twixt the King, and the conquered Party, which
was agitatcd by Ottoboy, the Popes Legate, the
Earl of Wloceſter, and twelve others were
choſen to moderate therin 3 whereby thoſe who
were vanquiſhed, might redeem themſelves and
their eſtates, by pecuniary compoſitions (which
accordingly was cffeted by that memorable De-
cree called Ditinm de Kenilworth) and that this

who had obtained the confiſcated Lands of the
Rebels by the Kings Grant, fiercely oppoſed that
accord 3, ſaying, That it was unjuſt, that what was
ſo deſervedly forfeited ; and for their pains and fide-
lity, given to them by the King, ſhould be takes
from them again for no cauſe. And it was then
ſaid Þ by ſome, that he took ſuch offence againſt
the Earl of Gloceſter, for his forwardneſs in
that Agreement, that he conſpired his death 3 as
alſo, that thereupon the Earl withdrew himſelf
ow a time, great animoſities continuing betwixt
them.

After this, viz. in 51 Hen.3. he had command
1from the King, to fortific the Caſtle of Dere-
fozd, ( whereof by the Kings former Grant in
44 Hen. 3. he had been conſtituted Governor :)
And in 50, 51, and the fourth part of 52 Hey. 3.
had * the Sheriffalty of Derefo2Dthire,

King was gone into GalCotgne, there being an

certain vain Prophecy, That the King thould
never return again into Englaud 3. this Roger,
marching ® towards them (with Edmund, the
Kings Brother) they totally retired and diffipated

a Grant Y from the King of the Territories of
ReDbewp and Kerp, and of the Caſtle of
Oolvo20n ( built by * David ap Lewelin ) to
hold to himſelf and his heirs, by the ſervice of
three Knights Fees.

And, having taken to Wife *® Maud the Daugh-

nock, with whom he had Þ the Land of Rad-
no, with other fair poſſcifions, both in Eng-

Fr firſt of this Family that had to do
here, was Kobert de Mortimer ,, (Son or
Brother to Hugh de Mortimer of CTR

2 this place, by the Marriage ® of Margery , the
Daughter and Heir of Hwgh de $Say,certified © the
Knights Fees, belonging to this Honor in
12 Hen.2. to be in number Twenty threc.

In Right of this Margery, he had 4 alſo the

Cure, {Jadefen, Sheideflegh, Sutton,
Stantozt, Crolea, Eftwood, 12urſhull,
and Aumb2ig, ix Com. Wigor. which were gi-
ven © to himby the King, with the ſaid Margery,
to be hdd by the ſervice of Six Knights Fees,
and a fifth part.

This Robert in 17 Fob. obtained likewiſe a
Grant * from the King, of all thoſe Lands in
Serewilic in Com. Sufſ. which did formerly be»
long to Mabel de Say, Mother of Margery his
Wite, and thenin the Poſſcilion of Robert Mar-
mion the younger. And morcover *, of all thoſe
Lands in Derleveſtan i Com. Lizc. which did
belong to Robert ds Mortimer of J20rfolk, then
in Arms with the Rebellious Barons , bit died
not long after: For in 3 Henx.z. this Margery fur-
viving him, had an Aiſignation ® of her Dowry,
out of all his: Lands lying in the County of
Efler. And in 15 Hex.3. was married i to Williams
de Stutevil, |

To this Robert ſaccceded Hugh de Mortimer his
Son and Heir, who in 43 Her.3. upon thedeath
of William de Stutevil, Husband to Margery de
Say, his Mother, paying * One hundred pound
for his Relcif,, had Livery ! of all thoſe Lands of 1
her Inheritance, which he the ſaid William held,
as Tenant by the curtelie of England, during
his life.

In 44 Hen.z. this Hxgh, being ® one of the
Barons Marchers, received command ® to repair
perſonally to his Houſe at RiCarvs Callie, and
there to attend the direction of Koger Lord More
timer of (Uligmo2e, whom the King had then

And after this, ſcil. in 1 Edw. 1. executed
t the Sheriffs Ofhce for the Counties of Salop

This being the ſubſiance of what Ihave found
memorable of him, I ſhall now only take notice 3
that, for the health of the Souls of his Anceſtors

eparted * this life in 3 Edw.1. leaving Robert,
his Son and Heir Y Twenty two years of age,

Come now to William, the younger Son of

William, —_— called William la Zowch of
Mortimer , for the Reaſons before ſpecified in
1 Edw.3. (then poſſeling * the Mannor of Qſhbp

the cuſtody of the'Lands of Glamonnan and
No2gannoc , with power to diſpoſe of the
Towns, Caſtles, and Lordſhips , within thoſe
Territories, as he ſhould think moſt meet for
the Kings advantage : For which ſervice, he was
to receive out of the Revenue of thoſe Lands,
in time of peace two hundred marks, with al-
lowance for thirty Men at Arms, to beliege the
Caſtle of Raerfiliy ( if it ſhould not be then
rendred.) And in 2 Edw. 3. was made © Juſtice
of all the Foreſts, South of Trent 3 as alſo
Conſtable 4of the Tower of London.

In 4 Edw. 3. this William and Alianore his
Wife (one © of the Daughters and Heirs to Gil-

Fourtcenth of that Kings Reign incluſive, he is
to be accounted a Peer of this Realm.

L ewelyr Prince of CUlales. But of this Hroh,
the cheit thing, that T find memorable, is 3 that
he took to Wife * Agatha the youngeſt Daugh-
tcr of William de Ferrers, Earl of £erby, and
at length one of the Coheirs Þ of Walter Mar-
ſal Earl of Pemb2oke, the benefit © to whoſe
marriage Endo la Zonch? (unto whom the King
had granted it) paſt 9 over to the before ſpeci-
hed Kalph, who thereupon Wedded © her to his
faid Son. This Hugh being * with the King
at that noble Seige of Rentlworth Caſtle in
49 Hen. 3. (ſhortly after the vanquiſhing Mont-
ford Earl of Leiceſter, in the Battle of Cvc-
ſham,) he loſt © a good Horſe-in that ſervice;
in recompence Whereot the King gave * him
forty Marks. But becauſe neither this Hugh ,
nor any of his deſcendants were cver in the
rink of Barons, 1 ſhall not take farther Notice
of them, than, that in the fourth Generation ,
this line terminated in heirs Female.

Stafford.

He firſt that aſſumed this Sirname, was

| Kobert de Stafford, who at the time of
the general Survey , poſſeſſed ®* two

L ordſhips in Suffolk,one in ({{02Ceſterſhire,
one in No2thamptonlhire , ewenty in Lin-
colneſhire, twenty ſix in CUarwickſhire ,
and eighty one in StaffozDſhires amongſt
which, Staffo2D is not accounted 3 the reaſon
whereof I ſuppoſe to bez becauſe the Caſtle
which King William the Conqueror had cauſed
to be built Þ, in that part of @taffard, then
a member of Chebbeſeie, and belonging to
Henw de Ferriers , was © at that time demo-
liſhed. Of which Caſtle , whilſt it ſtood, *tis
like that this Robert was Governor, and there-

upon took that Sirname from his reltidence there- *
at: for, that his name was originally Toy, is |

clcere enough from that confirmation 4 made by
K obert de Stafford, his Grandſon, unto the Monks
of Conches. in J202maindy, of the Church
of CUlotton (now called CUotton-Wlawen,
in Comitat, Warwic, ) and certain Lands there :
whereby, ratifying © the Grants of Nibolas de
Stafford, his Father, and Robert his Grandfather,
he calls f him Robert de Toenei, Which Robore,
being, a younger Son as ( 1 gueſs ) of Rager de
Joent , Standardbcarer © of J201Nandy, and
founder *® of the ſame Abvy of Conches, de-
ſcended i from Malabulcins , Uncle * to the fa-
mous Rello ſometime Duke of J202Mmalldy, and
Progenitor to King WVilliam the Conqueror,

But of this Robert all that I can ſay farther,
is, that living ! till King Heary the hr(t's time,
and underſtanding ®, that one Enyſaun de WW altze
who came over into England with the NVo--
man Conqueror, had killed two Nuns and a Prieſt
which had bcen (ctled ® in a ſmall Oratory at
Stone in ©tatto:dſhire, to celebrate Divine
Service there, in honor of S. W/olfade, tormerly
murthered ® in that place by Wolphere King of
ACrcta, his Father 3 hc, out of great devotion
to that Saint, founded P a Priory there for Ca-

. nons Regular of St. Arguitines Order. More-

d. 57.

* over, that he gave his Lordthips of CUrotc-

fieye, and Livintune, wo the Monks of Gvc-

—

A—

(ham, ix Com. WWigorn. and that he was inter-
red *, with Avice de Clare his Wife, in the en- r1vid.z5
trance of the Cloyſter at Stone,

To this Robert was that Nigel de Stafford a
Brother (as I think ) who, at the time of the
general Survey, made by King Wiliam the ht,
held © Oracyclawe and eleven Lordfhips in 7 pomers 1,
©erbyſhire 3 from which Nizell, the antient Fa- fbtic, 2.4,
mily of Greſley, ſtill poſſeſſing that Lordſhip of
Oachelawe, do derive their deſcent.

I now-come to Nicholas de Stafford, Son and nigyy, .
heir to the before ſpecified Robert, This Nichs- 2
Is was Sheriff * of Staffordſhire, in the time « Mon. ang
ot King Hewry the firſt 3 and not only confirmed 01.19%
u to the Canons of Btone, what his Fathcr xcan,it
| had | gra them 3 but beſtowed on them other £574
| Lands of good value; part whereof do lie in
Stone, and part in WWHalton jxxt2 Stone ;
as by his Original Deed, which he Offered upon

ory of Stone, (fo founded by his Father ) a MS inbitl,

Mannor of Jte{tcote, with certain Lands in *2*%r
Ticſho, in Com. Warr. and augmented * what
his ſaid Father had given to the before ſpecified
Monks of Conches, out of his Lordſhip of
CUotton 3 but was buried Þ, with Mande his 6 Mor, wi

Skins 3 as alſo to treat and conclude touching the
Coynage of good Money, Gold, and Silver, tg
be current, as well in Cngland, as in Flan-
Ders; and by another * Commiſſion impowred
to treat with the Princes and others of Almaine,
touching a League of Friendſhip betwixt King
Edward and them, and to obtain their afſiſtance
to him upon occaſion. ;

Moreover, in 1$ Edw. 3. being ſent ® into
Galcoigne, with Henry of Lancaſter, Earl of
Derby 3 upon * the aſſault of Bergerath,
by that Earl, on the Land part 3 this Ralph com-
manded 7 the Fleet to attack it by Sea, and was
with him likewiſe at the * ſiege of Aube-
roche.

In 19 Edw. 3. he had that great office of Se-
neſchal of Aquitane,conferred * upon him 3 and
continuing Þ® thereupon in thoſe parts, command
© was given to the Sheriff of Gloceſterſhire
to ſend thither to him One hundred Bows an
fix hundred Arrows for the Kings ſervice there.

In 20 Edw. 3. he went % again into Gal:
coigne ; and being then in Aguitlon,when Joby
Son and Heir to Philip, King of France, came
to beſiege it, he placed © empty Wine Hogſheads
upon that part of the Town, which was not
Walled, putting Stones into them and m—_
he was beſieged f with a numerous Army, he

ſtoutly defended 8 it againſt their, whole power. |

Tt is ſaid ® by Come of our Hiſtorians , . that
upon King Edwards coming into France , at
that time with a puiſſant Army, which occaſioned
the before ſpecified Fohn to raiſe his ſiege, and
to march away in order to the conjundion of
his Forces, with the Army of Philip his Father ;
this Kalph, Lord Staffozd, allied out of A;
gutlion, fell upon his Rear, and cut off a great
part thereof; Morcover i, that being thus clear-
ed from that ſiege, he joyncd his Forces with
King Edwards, and had * an eminent command
in the Van of the Army, under the Black Prince,
in that famous Battle of Creſſy, which ſoon
after enſued, where the Engliſh obtained a glori-
ous victory : Likewiſe, that after that =_—
bcing ſent ! with Sir Reginald Cobham, and three
Heralds, to view the ſlain 3 they reported the
number to be Eleven great Princes, eighty Ban-
nercts, twelve hundred Knights, and more than
thirty thouſand Common Soldiers. And alfo,
that upon the render of Calats, which hapned
ſhortly after, he was one of thoſe who were
then appointed ® to take poſiciſion of it for the
King,

The next year following, there being an ac-
cord ® made, betwixt this Ralph and Margaret
his Wife, on the one part 3 Sir Robert de Harley,
and Elizabeth his Wife, on the ſecond part 3 and
Sir Edward Cornwall, on the third part ; as
Coſins and Heirs to Peter, the Son of Peter Cor-
bet : This Ralph claiming ® the Caſtle of Caus,
and other Lands , as being deſcended from the

eldeſt Aunt of the ſame Peter 3 it being thereby |
concluded P, That he ſhould thenceforth enjoy .
that Caſtle to him and his hcirs, hc obtained Li-
very 4 thereof, doing his Fcalty for the ſame. |
And before the end ot that year, in farther con- |

ſideration * of his laudable ſervices, did alſo ob Eo
tain another ſpecial Livery of all thoſe Lands, 7
which Hugh de Audley, Earl of Gloceſter, then
deceaſed, held of the Inheritance of Margaret his

Wife, one of the Daughters and Heirs to Gilbert de

Clare, ſometime Earlof Gloceſterz which by the

death of her, the ſaid Margaret, did by deſcent be-

long to Margaret, Wife to this Ralph, as Daughter

and Heir to them, the ſaid Hugh and Margaret z his
homage being reſpited *, in reſpe@ of his Military
imployment : For he was then ſent ® again into (Pat, 4
France, and had purveyance * for hiniſelf, his £ Ly
men, and horſes, in the Counties of Sufſer, 1. ©
Durrep, and Kent, till he took ſhipping, Sir

Hugh Fte:-Simond Knight, being ” at that time one (#«
of his Retinue, as appears by an Indenture *,dated =D!
16 Martii, the ſame year z whereby he cove-

nanted to ſerve him in the Wars, whereſoever

he ſhould have occaſion,with four Knights, him-

ſelf accounted, and eight Eſquires, for the ſpace

of one whole year next enſuing.

Being thus again in France, he was * one of ro
the Ambaſſadors ſent to the Cardinals of J2a- \\£4. a,
ples and Cleremont, to treat of Peace, be-
twixt King Edward and Philip de Valoys, then
aſſuming the title of King of France.

In 22 Edw.3. (which was the next enſuing

ear) he obtained Licenſe ® to make Caftles of 502!
is Mannor Houſes at Staffo02D and ory s :
as. alſo a Grant © from the King of 573 1. for «<Ibi
his expences, in his ſervice beyond Sea, And
being then by Indenture retained © to ſerve the
King, during his whole life with ſixty Men at
Arms 3 had, by reaſon thereof, Six hundred
marks per annum, aſſigned © unto him, to be re-
ceiyed out of the Ports of London and Boſton,
Moreover, having merited ſo well for his many
and great ſervices, he was, about this time, eleQ-
ed * tobe one of the number of that honorable # ati tt
Society of the moſt Noble Order of the Garter, % ow
then inſtituted by that martial and viQorious per 5.4m)
Prince,-King Edward the Third. _

Furthermore, in 24 Edw.3. he was joyned in
Commiſſion 8 with the Biſhop of Durham, the **$5%
Lord Percy, and Lord Nevill co treat with the :.
Nobles o Scotland, at Pork, for a firm and
final Peace betwixt both Realms : In which,
and all other his employments, his deportment
was ſuch, That the King, in conſideration ® theres
of, upon the fifth of March, then next enſuing,
advanced i him to the title of Earl of Dtaffod 3
and, for his better ſupport of that dignity, grant-
ed * to him a thouſand marks per annxm in Fee,
until he thould provide Lands of that value, to
ſettle on him and his heirs.

And, being thus raiſed to theſe Honors, and
inriched with ſuch large benefits, he was ſhortly
after, viz. in 26 Edw. 3. conſtituted ! the Kings 2 Revd
[Lieutenant and Captain-General in his Dutchy ****
of Aquttane , with ſpecial Commiſſion ® to a Ibid. mk
treat with any perſons of what Nation ſoever,
upon terms of Aid to the King, and mutual aſ-
liſtance from him.

In which ſervice, viz. The Lieutenancy of
Aquitaine, he was ®chen likewiſe retained by *23*%
Indenture, bearing date 3 Martii, to continue, oy
with an hundred Men at Arms, and an hundred
Archers on Horsback, of his own proper Re-
tinue, until Michaelmaſi next following. And
from that time forwards, to have an additional
number of One hundred Men at Arms more,
with good Captains, and Two hundred Archers

on Horsback, provided at the Kings charge, for
the time of his ftay there. The King likewiſc
indenting * farther with him, to-ſend by way of

more ſupply (under the coadud of the Duke of |
Lancaiter, the Earls of J202thampton, 9U- |
rundel, Warwick, or Puntingdon) Three |
hundred Men at Arms.and ſeven hundred Archers. |

During the time of which ſtay therc,he contiituted
P Sir fames Pipe Knight, then Seneſchal of that
Dutchy, Governor of the Town and Caſile of
*S1avp, ſituate in the Enemies quarters: And
in regard of this his neccſſitated abſence from
England, obtaincd a ſpecial Precept 4 tothe
Judges of the Kings Bench, that they ſhould not,

in any of ther Seſſions, within the County ot |

Efler , intermeddle with his Libertics. For
which expedition, whileſt he was preparing, he

. »e.:6 is. had an Affignation ® of the Town of *1 Cit), |

in Com. Middl. for the quartering of his Men
and Horſes 3 Sixty Men with Lanc:s, being for

we: Franc. that ſervice then impreſſed © out ot his Lord(hips

of J2ewpont and 3:2etherwent, in the Marches
of Ca £9,

In 27 Edw. 3. he attended * Prince Edward,
in the company of the Earl of ({{Jarwick, unto
the City of Uheſter, with a Military Power,
for the protecting of Sir Richar4 de Willoughby,
and Sir William de Shareſhul, Knights, then fit-
ting there, as Juſtices Itinerant, againſt the vio-
lence of the people, whoſe Inſurrection they fear-
ed. And the ſame year had a ſpecial Diſpenſa-
tion % from Pope Inzocent the Sixth, bearing date
15 Kal. Feby. That ſuch Religious Perſons , as
ſhould be at his Table, or in his Houſe, might eat
Fleſh.

. In 29 Edw. 3. he attended * the King again
' into France > whoſe purpoſe Y was to have
iven Battle to the King of France , then at
. Dmers, had he not privily got away. And in
. 33 Edw.3. marching * towards 1&eyns in Cam-
parnne, and quartered * in a ſmall Village near

kagh the Prince 3 being there ſet Þ upon by a Party

| _ of Sixty Men, under the conduct of Baldwir
Bartin , he flew ©and took priſoners the moſt of
them, amongſt which, Bartiz himſelt was one 3

i». Fraxc. and continued © in thoſe parts till the next year

following. But, being then recalled, he was ſent

ig © with Leoxel, Earl of Cilfter (the Kings Son)

into Treſand, there to ſubdue the Rebellious
Natives of that Realm, then in Arts. More-
over, having bought f up many Horſes for that

*3.3- ſervice, he had the Kings Precept 8 to rhe Lord

Treaſurer there , for the reimburſing him in
what he had laid out in that ſervice. And in
39 Edw. 3. was again ® in thoſe Wars of
France.

Having thus, as brcifly as I well can, pointed
at his Military and other Secular Imployments, I
now come to his Works of Piety.

Bearing a venerable reſpeR i to the Order of

Phrey Haſtang Knight ; and likewiſc, for the good
eftate of King Edward the Third, then King of
England, he gave * a certain piece of Land in
Fowdzugge , near the Bridge at Staffo2D,

all thoſe things well confidercd, together with

Furthermore, not long, after the King being

with much difticulty, he had landed Y, aftcr that
perillous tempeſt. And bcing received * with

ably, and crying out, That h? was a Trayter to

reccived the Sacrament. Likewiſc!, that aftcr-

That the Tapers, which were then born, with

much wonder at you Chriftians , who reverence the
Bones of the Dead, why you inquire not For thoſe of
the Renowned - and right Noble William Longeſpe
becauſe there be many things reported of them, ( whe-
ther fabulous or not, I cannot ſay ,) viz. That, in
' the dark, of the night, there have been appearances
at bis Tomb z, and that to ſome, who called upon his
God, many things were beſtowed from Heaven. For
which cauſe, and in regard of his great worth and
Nobility of Birth, we Gd cauſed bis Body to be

BESS Cuftom of the Realm, promiſing © upon her Oath,
"that ſhe would not marry again without leave,

had her Dowry then aſſigned * to her.

without the Town of wwaltStnry : Which
Lordſhip of Weſton was afterwards cxchanged
for the Mannors of (C4lllILleStO02D and 254-

This Humphrey bearing ! a great regard to

the Cluniack, Order of Monks, whercof the Ab-

bey of Lewes in Butler, was the ſecond of
thoſe, which had been ſeated here in England,
gave ® thereunto his Church of 'Biſhopitreet,

Church of Farley C in CUiltſhire ) to the

thoſe of Farley might wholly enjoy it.

He had iſſuc ® Humphrey the third, and Maud

unto whom he fo firmly adhered in all her trou-
bles » that fighting in the Battle of CLlinchcſter,
on her part, in 6 Steph. he was there taken * pri-
ſoner by William de Ipre.

In 12 Hen.2. upon affeſſing the Aid, for mar-
rying the Kings Daughter , he certified © the
Knights Fees , whereof his Grand-father was
Enfcoffed to be Thirty and an half, De Veter:
Feoffamento and Nine and an halt De Novo
Feoffamento : For which Fees De Veteri Feoff a-
ments, he paid Thirty marks and an half.

At that time alſo, Margaret * his Wife (for fo
ſhe is called in the Record) ſignihed the Knights
Fees, which ſhe then held (whereof the reſpe-
ive perſons named in her Certificate were 8 En-
feoffed by Milo de Glocefter her Father) to be
b ſeventcen De Veteri Feoffamento, and three and
four parts De Novo.

In 20 Hen.2. this Humphrey accompanied ® Ri-

dom to tlic Crown of &14utiltis, In the fame
ycar he joyncd 4 with other of the Loyal Peers 3
and giving Battle * to the Earl of LOeNer ,
then 1a Rebcllion (whole Army they totally rout-

Lattly, having confirmed * to the Canons of
S. Diows, near ©lithampton, the Grant of

his Father : He departed ® this life 6 Apr. Av.
1187, ( 33 Hen. 2. ) and was buried * in the
Chaptcr-Houſe of Lanthony near Oforeſter ;
leaving Humphrey his Son and Heir, whole cuſto-
dy the bcfore mentioned Margery had Y, and paid
Z Thirty pounds ten ſhillings, upon levying the
Scutage of Galway for thoſe Knights Fees,
which bclongecd to his Barony, in regard he did
not *attcnd the King in his Army thither.

Which Humphrey ( bcing the fourth of that
name) was Þ® Earl of Yeret02G, as alſo Con-
fable of England , by deſcent from Margery
his Mother, -if the Chronicles of Lanthony
miltake not 3 and took © to Wife Margaret ,

Daughtcr to Henry Earl of i)Untigdon, Siſter |

to WVWill:am King of Scots, and Widow of Conan

doave to the Canons of B2adenſtoke, certain
Lands in Cltnc[cst02D , of one mark per an-
mm valuc 3 and that he was buried © in the
Chapter-houſe at Lanthony 3 leaving ifſue
f Henry de Bohun his Son and Heir : Which
Henry in 9 Kich.1, gave ® Three hundred marks
Fine to the King , for Livery of thoſe Lands,
that were the Inheritance of Margery, his Grand-
mother 3 and was, in truth, the firſt Earl of
I)erefo2d ,yof this great Family ( though the
Chronicle of Lanchuiw attributes that title to
his Father) having a Grant ® of Twenty pounds
ycarly of the Terturm Denarium Comiatus, madc

died in the life time of his Father, But before I
proceed to ſpeak of this his Succeſſor in theſe
Earldoms, I ſhall take notice of what I find moſt
mcmorable' of Humphrey his Father, wholived
not to be Earl.

This Humphrey (the ſixth of that name) in
42 Hen. 3. had * cotmmapd (with divers other
great Mcn)) to march with Horſe and Arms to
Cheſter , and to be there the Monday next
preceding, the Fealt of S. Fobn Baptiſt, to oppole
the pewer of Leoline, Prince of (ales, who
had then made ſome hoſtile incurſions on thoſe
parts. So likewiſe ® to be at T)erefozd on
Monday next aftcr Candlemaſi-day, in the Forty
ſeventh of Henry the Third. |

Bcing a perſon of a very turbulent ſpirit, he
took part with the Rebellious Barons upon all
occaſions 3 and -therefore in 47 Hen. 3. was
x excommunicated , together with that great
Rebct S. Mountfort, Earl of Leiceſter, and
other his Complices, for plundring divers
Churches, and committing much Sacrilcdge
and, meeting ? with the reſt of them in the Par-
liament then held at Þrto2D, thenceforth * be-
gan to put himſelf in Arms againlt the King 3
whercupon Prince Edward belicged *® his Caſtles
of Pap and Huntington, in the Marches of
TUales, and took ® them 3 fo alſo © his Caſtle
of B2ecknock.

In Av. 1264. (48 Hen. 3.) being 4 in Arms
with othcr of the Rcbellious Barons, he endea-
vorcd © (with them) to expel all Aliens z and
waſted the Lands of thoſe who did not ſubmit
to the Proviſions made at Drfo2d. Moreover,
he was *f one of the LcadggyY of their Rebellious
Army, at that fatal Battle ewes, where the
King was made priſoner. Whereupon he was
by them conſtituted Governor 5 of Hoodich
Callle, as alſo of the Caſtle ® at TUlinchefter.
And the next year following, was General i of
their Foot Forces in the Battle of Eveſham ,
where their whole Army bcing routed and de-
ſtroycd, he was: taken priſoner *. Tt is ſaid by
ſome, That when he came near the place of
tight, he withdrew himſclt : But, being thus
taken, he was ſent priſoner | to Beeſton Caſlle

of William Marſþal, Earl of JPemb2oke 3 and
had 4 with her the whole Lordſhip of 1B2eck-
nack., of her Fathers Inheritance 3 as alſo Live-
ry”, in her Right (together with Roger de Mor-
timer and Maud his Wife, and IWiliam de Cay-
tilupe and Eve his Wife, the other Daughters and
Coheirs to the ſaid William de Breawſe ) of the
Caſtle and Town of Daverfo2D, part of the
Lands Hereditarily deſcending to them from
Walter Mzreſchal, ſometime Earl of JPembyoke,
(Brother of Eve their Mother-)

By which Eleanor he left iſſue f Humphrey de
Bobun the Seventh, who ſucceeded * his Grand-
father in theſe Earldoms of IDerefo2d and
Cſlex,

Another Wife he had, called Foun, Daughter
of Kobert de Quency (as is manifeſt by that Grant

Derefo2D, his Father, in 50 Hey. 3. before re-
cited z ) but whether ſhe was his firſt Wife or
not, I cannot determine.

This Humphrey (the Grandſon) in 2 Edw.r.
had the Caſtle and Town of IDaverfo2D, which
were of his Inheritance, then reſtored ® to him 3
as alſo Livery * of all his other Lands, the next
enſuing ycar, doing his homage upon the death
of his Grandfather.

And in 10 Edw. 1. bcing appointed ! to make
his abode in the Parts of B2ecknock, deputcd
2 John de Bohn, his Uncle, to attend the King for
performance of the Office of Conſtable of Eng:
11D, in his abſence.

In 14 Edw.1. he was * with the Kings Army
in (ales, and had Þ thereupon Scutage of his
| Tenants: But in 20 Edw.1. being convicted © of
ſome miſdemeanor, before the King and his

Council, his Royalties, for his Lands in 132£Ck&:
nock, were ſeiſed 4 on, and committed to Roger
de Burghul.

In 25 Edw. 1, he was ſent © into olland,
with John, Son to the Earlof Dolland, (who
had married the Daughter of King Edward )
when he went to challenge the Inheritance of
his Father, about that time ſlain.

In the fame year it was ®, that the King cal-
ing a Parliament at Saltsburp , requircd ®
this Earl and ſome others,to go into Gaſcotgne,

himſelf in perſon they would attend him : But
the King, threatning P them with hith words,
that he would compcll them ' to goe without
him 3 they put 4 themſelves in Arms. Which
being diſcerned , that buſineſs was proſecuted
no farther,

In that year likewiſe, he was one of thoſe,
who boldly- prohibited * the Lord Treaſurer
and Barons of the Exchequer, to levy that Tax
upon the People, of the cighth peny, then gran-
ted to the King, in the Parliament, held at S.
Edmynds-bury; and incited f the Loxdoxers
to ſtand with them for recovery of their Li-
bertics.

none of them arrived to the dignity of a Baron,
until King, Edward the Thirds Reign 3 but that
they were Men of great note before, is evident

; Pere.

He firſt mention I find of this Noble and

| Antient Family, is in the General Survey

* of England, made: by'\King William

the Conqucror 3 where, it appears, that 1beric
de Vere, then held Cheneſiton (now Kenſing:
ton) in Com. Middleſ, Oehng and Emingto2y
in Com, Hunt. Likewiſe nine Lordſhips in Sut:
folk, and fourtcerr in Eflex, whereot Colne,

netley were part 3 which, till of late, continued
to his poſterity.

Of this name, - 2iz.-Atberic, there was alſoan
Ear] in that agc, for by that title he is Record-
cd Þ in the ſame Survey. though of what place it
appears not : | Which Earl poſſeſſed © divers fair
Lordſhips in thoſe days, iz. In CCharwickſhire
lix, in LLILEN If fourtcen, in NNorthamp-
ronth.re fix, in Orto2ulyice two, and in
CUl''t(hire ten ſome of which, tz. thoſe in
Com. Wilts. he likewiſe held 4 in King Edward
the Conteflors time, which ſhews that he was an
E 12liſh man.

It ' is ſaid © by ſome, that this firſt mentioned

Alberic, was Earl, of Ohtfnes in x: rance, but
for that '1 ſee no authority, though he married
t Beatrix, Neece and Hcir to Manaſſes, Count of
C.hiſnes, viz. ;Naitghter 8 to Henry, Chaſtellan
of ourbourg, by. Sbille "y Ghiſnes, Daughter
of Manaſſes.
All theretore that I can farther ſay of the fore-
ſpecified Alberic' de Vere, is, That having by the
Conquerors git Þ , the whole Inheritance of a
great Man in the Saxons days, called (Cult:
wine, hc did not only poſſeſs i himſelf thereof,
but took * from the Monks of Ramſcy, what
the fame I/#lfrine had, before the Norman Con-
queſt, given tf them 3 and left ? it to his own
polterity. Morcover, that bearing a great re-
(pc& to the Monks of Abingdon 7» Cone. Berks.
He gave ® unto them the Church of S. Axdrew,
at COine in Efſer, with certain Lands in that
Lordſhip > as alfo the Churches of Dover-
court, Camps, Bentley, Beicamp, and
Colne-Yiblanc,with divers Lands and Tithes
[in Daingham, Laureham, Aldeham,
1I0INges, and other parts of that County :
Whereupon, this place of Colne, being made a
Cell ® to that great Abbey of Abingdon, he
was afterwards thorn ® a Monk therein.

This Alberic was called P Albericus Senior, and
had iſſue by the ſame Beatrix, hive Sons , viz.

—_

For the health of the Soul of which Geffrey (who
dicd in his lite time) be and his Wite Beatrix,
gave " tothe Monks ot Rbtngnon, the Church
of Genſiiinton i» Com. Middleſ: with two
Hides, One hundred and twenty Acrcs, and one
yard Land as alſo his Houſe in {UleNminſter-
[trect, in London: He had likewiſe a Daugh-
ter called Roſe, Witcf to Geffrey de Mandel
the firſt Earl of Efler of that name.

In 3 Hen. 5. this Richard was * in that ex-

Richard Nevil , the ſtout Earl of T@arwick,
(at that time King Hevrys chiefcſt Champion)
at Barnct, in Com. Midd. in the left Wing, of
whoſe Army this our Earl was placed *, with
ſome Horſe, as Po!yd. Virg. aftirmeth. Others
* ſay, in the right wing: and that lcading the
Van ward, the Kings people were, through his
valor, oycrmacht z ſo that many ran away, and
carried news to London, chat the Earl of
CUnrwick had won the Ficld. Which might
have fallen out true, had not prepoſicrous tor-
tune hapned to his. men 3 who, having a Starr,
with ſtreams for their Livericsz were not, by
reaſon of the miſt, diltinguiſhed from King Ed-
wards men 3 and through that miſtake, ſhot at
one another. Whereupon, crying Treaſon, he Fled,
with eight hundred of his Souldiers. ©o that
all his party, being thus unhappily routed !,
with Edmxnd Duke of D0mncriet ,, he rggde
haſt into TUales, where he was received * by
the Earl of JPginb2oke 3 and after that into
Co2nwall, unto ® S. Michacls-Yount.

It is ſaid ® by ſome; that, at the Joſs of
Barnet Ficld, he ficd into Scotland , and
thence into France : and having gotten much
at Seca, came into the Weſt Countrcy ; whcre, by
ſubtilty he entred S. Bithaels MYount, in
C0o2nwall, with three hundred nincty ſeven
men, upon the laft of September ; and divers times
coming down thence, into the adjacent villages,
had good chear of the-Inhabitants: Whercupon
Bodrigan, the Kings Licutenant in that County,
being commanded by the King , belicged the
Mount 3 but fo favorably, that the Earl revictu-
alled itz ſo that Forteſexe was ſent to keepſþe
Seige better. But, at laſt, the King fo wrought
with the Souldiers in the Mount, that had not
our Earl ſubmitted, his ,own men would have
made him priſoner : in ſo much as Forteſcue cn-
tred the Mount upon'the fifteenth of February
following ; wherein he found victual, which
might have ſerycd till Midſummer.this Ear], with
the Lord Beaumoat being carricd priſoners to the
King ; and ſent ?P to ſafe Cuſtody, in the Caſtle
of Pamms in Ptcaryp. Soon after which ,
viz. in the Parliament begun at CUeftminſter,
upon the ſixth of Odober the (ame year, he
was(together with Sir George and Sir Thomas, his
Brothers both Knights) attaintcd 9,

But in 2 Ric. 3. being ſtill prilqace * in the
Caſtle of {)amms 3 obſcrving. what hopes of
aid Henry Earl of -RichmunD, then had from
the French, and others, in order to his gaining
the Crown of this Realm 3 he got * thence,
Fames Blount , the Go-

they could:not obtain his liberty till he had ren-
dred up the Tower of London, with his Caſtles
of (Ualden and Jlefley into the Kings
hands. :

Moreover, that being thus bereft of thoſe
ſtrong, Holds he allured to him divers Soldiers,
by whoſe aſſiſtance he did much miſcheit, in
ſundry places 3 firſt invading the Kings own
Demeſn Lands, and waſting them miſerably 3
and afterwards making great ſpoil upon others.
Likewiſe, that having married his Siſter Beatrzx,
to Hugh Talbot ot J2020andp , he cauſed her
to be Geol, and wedded to William de Say,
a ſtout and warlike Man 3 and, that with his aid,
he went on in Plunder and Rapine every where,
without mercy 3 making uſe of divers cunning
Spies, whom he ſent from door to door, as Beg-
ears, to diſcover where any rich men dwcltz to
the end he might ſurpriſe them in their Beds 3
and then keep them in hold, till they had with

large ſums of Money purchaſed their liberty.

And that being highly tranſported with wrath,
he at length grew ſo ſavage 3 that by the help of
this Wil:am de Say, and one Danzel, a counter-
feit Monk, he got by Water to Ramſeyz and
entring, the Abbey very carly in the morning,
ſurpriſed the Monks ( then aſlcep, after their
noQurnal offices) and expelling them thence ,
made a Fort of the Church ; taking away their
Plate, Copes, and other Ornaments, and ſelling
them for Money to reward his Soldiers. Alſo,
that for theſe his outrages having incurred the
ſentence of Publick Excommunication, he hap-
ned to be mortally wounded, at a little Town
called Burwel > whereupon, with great con-

on he could, there came at laſt ſome of the
Knights-Templars to him 3 and putting on him
the habit of their Order, with a Red Croſs, car-
ried his dead Corps into their Orchard, at the
Old Temple in London 3 and Coffining it
in Lead, hanged it on a crooked Tree. Likewiſe,
that after ſome time, by the induſtry and ex-
pences of William, whom' he had conſtituted
Prior of (UalDen, his Abſolution was obtained
from Pope Alexander the Third 3 fo that his
Body was received amongſt Chriſtians, and Di-
vine Offices celebrated for him : But, that when
the Prior endeavored to take down the Cofhn,
and carry it to TUalDen 3 the Templars being
aware of the deſign , buried it privatcly in the
Churchyard of the New Temple, viz. In
the Porch beforc the Weſt door.

As to the circumſtances of his death, others

|

differ in their report, ſaying ?, That from Ram:

| (ep he marched to the liege of a Caſtle at Bur-

wel, which the King had built ; bur it being in
Summer, he put off his Helmet, and going thus,
by reaſon of the heat, with his Shcild and Lance,
bare-headed, was diſccrncd by thoſe in the Caſtle
to be an Enemy, and thence ſhot * in the Head
with an Arrow 3 of which wound, taking no

valry, having his Brains daſhed 8 out by a fall
from an Horſe and the Captain of his Foot, en-
deavoring ® to get away by Sea , over-whelmed
i with the violence of tne Waves.

But, though I have followed the thred of this
ſtory, which brought the laſt mentioned Geffrey
to his death 3 therc arc ſome other particulars re-
lating to him, not unworthy to be remembred,
viz. That , * for the health of his Soul , hc
gave 1 to the Monks of {uriep (there ſeated by
Geffrey his Grand-father) One hundred ſhillings
yearly Rent, in exchange for the Tithes in W-

delmeton and Enfeld, the Tithe of Paunage
excepted.

Morcover, that he was ® the pious Founder
of that great Abbey at Walden in UEflex 3. for
the performance of which devout work, he pro-
cured " Robert, Biſhop of London, Nigel! of
Ely, and William of No2wich, to come thi-
ther , and conſecrate ® the Churchyard in the
year 1136. (1 Steph.) being himſelf then pre-

Tenants, and other of the Countrey ; as alſo a

multitude of the common people z placing 1 it at

the Welt end of the Town, upon a meeting of
four Road-ways, and in an Angle of two Wa-

ters, viz. That which runneth from J2ewpo2t,
and that deſcending from the fide of his Caſtle 3
partly, That * the Monks ſhould of neccdity be
charitable to Poor-people, and hoſpitable to Paſ-

Of this Earl Geffrey it is reported ® , That
coming frequently to the A of C{alden
(ſo Founded by his Father, as before is obſerved)

Geffrey in ſtature, favor, and comportment, did
not much verſe himſelf in England, amongſt
his own relations 3 but ſpent his youthful time,
for the moſt part, with Philip, Earl of Flan-
ders, from whom he received the honor-of
Knighthood 3 yet, when he heard of his Bro-
thers death, he ſoon returned hither, bringing
from that Earl, Letters of Recommendation to
King Henry, by whom he was received with
great reſpet 3 and requiring Livery of his In-
heritance, had it readily granted to him : Where-
upon he was alſo girt with the Sword of the
Earldom of Oiler 3 having likewiſe poſſeſhon
of all things elſe, the cuſtody of the Tower of
London only excepted.

Affeer which, having viſited his Mother, he
came i to WUalden , and there prayed at his
Brother Geffreys Tomb 3 but, caſting an auſtere

' &k look towards the Prior and Monks, and mix-
ing 1 ſome kind of threats with his promiſes, he
extorted ® from them the great Horſe and Arms,
which were his Brothers, and whatſoever elſe
they had for his Sepulture 3 giving them nothing
at all, but eodoke n them with the Churches
which his Father had beſtowed on them, ſaying,
© That he had not reſerved one to gratihe his

vl. 8,49 own Chaplains. Howbeit, when P he was ready

$(*”* for his Pilgrimage to Jeruſalem, the Prior of
CUaiden obtained 4 ſo much favor from him, as
to accept of a Chaplain of his recommendation 3
promiſing”, That he ſhould partake of his own

n.o& tz, Jjifion of Gilbert, Biſhop of LOnDON , Roger,
the Prior, accompanied ® him. But when they
came into Ftalp , conſidering ® the age and
weakne(s- of the Prior, and that he was not
ſigned with the Croſs , he ſent * him away to
Pope Alexander, and went Y himſclt on towards

the Doly Land.

And upon * his return into England (being
much mortified by this his pilgrimage) he ſent
2 divers rich Cloaths to thoſe Churches, which
were within his Fee, to make Veſiments and
Ornaments for their Altars > and to the Monks
of Walden, gave ® one of very rare work 3
having likewiſe (before he began his journey)
ſent © them one, with divers Silk-cloaths and

Another reports it thus *; that, this Earl R--

ving incurred King Henry's diſflcaſure three
years before, in ſo great a meaſure, as that he
could not obtain any reconciliation, nor enjoy
what rightly was his own 3 procured licence to
be gone 3 and taking with him ſomie'tew Soul-
diers, came into Treiand to hs Uncle Hervy :
and finding it a Countrcy ſpacious and fruittul,
but void of husbandry , began to pillage thoſc
half naked and filly pcople 3 Alſo by littk and
little, gaining a conſiderable part of the land ,
lying towards the Sca-coalt, at length he. took
£uvlin (the cheit City ) and by mcans thercot
more infeſtcd allthe rat of thoſe parts z which
ſo irritatcd the Natives, that they ſcent to the
King of England for ayd again him3 pro-
mifing Obedience, in cafe he would protect them.
Kicbard therefore fearing that King H-nry would
take that 'he had thus got, fent Agents to him,
with offer-:to hold it of him, in caſe he might
be permitted to enjoy it.

To conclude, this Richard was conſtituted *
Jukice of Jrelana, by King Henry the ſecond ,
and having founded ? the Priory ot Ai:il ic il,
in the Province of Lemſte;, tor Knights Ho-
ſpitalars , dicd untimely * upon the Nones of

Which Walter in 24 Hen. 3. paid ® into the

30 H. 3. upon ® Collection of the Aid for Mar-
rying the K, cldeſt Daughter, ſixty three pounds,

which he enjoyed of the Honnor of Valoines.

Moreover, in 38 Hen. 3. he accompted 9 one
hundrcd twenty ſcven pounds for the Co ſixty
three Knights Fees and an half, upon aſſcſiment
of the Aid for making the Kings eldeſt Son
Knight. In 42 Her. 3. this Walter had ſum-

and departing ! this like in Ann. 1258.(42 H.z.)
was likewiſe buried * inthe Conventual Church
of Oltnmow, leaving iſſuc ® Robert his Son and

Which Robert was made a Knight * in Ann.
1274 (2 Edw. 1.) and in 3 Ed. 1. had Licence
Y to paſs away the inheritance of his Houſe,
called Bapnards-Caſtie wichin Lonbon ,
adjoyning, to the Wall of that City, with all the
Walls and Ditchcs thereto belonging 3 as alſo
the Turrct called Montfitchet-T ower, unto Robert
Kylwardby, then Archbiſhop of Canterbury z
provided, that by reaſon of this grant nothing,
ſhould be extinguiſhed to him and his Heirs ,
which did belong to his barony 3 but that what-
ſoever relating thereto, aſwel in Rents, landing
of Veſſclls, and othes liberties and priviledges
in the City of London, or elſewhere, without
diminution, which to him the ſaid Robert, or
to that Barony had anticntly appertained, ſhould
be thencetforth reſerved. Whereupon that Arch-
biſhop tranſlated * the Dominican-Friers ( com-
monly called the Black:Friers, then reſiding in
Holburn, towards Lincoins-Jnne helds) un-
to this place.

Which Libertics and Priviledges , fo reſerved
as aboveſaid ( in regard they are memorable) I
have herc thought ht to * note. wiz.

That the faid Robert, as Conſtable of the
Caſtle of London, ( for ſo was Baynards-
Cajtle then called) and his Heirs ought to be Ban-
ner-Bcarers of that City, by inheritance, as be-
longing to that Caſtlez and in time of Warr to
ſerve the City in Manner following z viz. To
ride upon a Light-Horſe, with twenty Men at

Arms on Horſe-back, their Horſes covered with !

Cloath or Harneſs, unto the great dore of St.
Pavls Church, with the Banner of his Arms
carricd betore him; and. being come in that

manner thither, the Mayor of London, together

with the Sheriffs and Aldermen to iſſue Armed

_ .out of the Church, unto the ſame dore, on foot ,
with his Banner in his hand, having the hgure
of S. Paxil depicted with Gold thercon 3 but the
Feet, Hands, and Head of Silver, holding a filver

Sword in his hand.

And as ſoon as he thall ſce the Mayor, She-
riffs, and Aldermen come on Foot out of the
Church, carrying ſuch a Banner, he is to alight
from his Horſe, and ſalute him as his Compa-
njon , ſaying, Sir Mayor, I am obliged to come
bithzy to do my ſervice, which T owe to this City,
To whom the Mayor, Sheriffs, and Aldermen
are to anſwer. We give to you, as our Banner-
bearer by inheritance, for this City, this Banner
of the City to bear and carry to the bonor and prof-
fit thereof to your power.

Whercupon the ſaid Robert and his Heirs ſhall
receive it into their handsz and the Mayor,
and Sheriffs, ſhall follow him to the dore, and
bring him an Horſe worth twenty pounds. Which
Horſe ſhall be ſadled with a Saddle of his Arms,
and covered with Silk, depictcd likewiſe with
the ſame Armes: and they ſhall take twenty
pounds Sterling, and deliver it to the Cham-
berlain of the ſaid Rubert, for his expences that
day.

This being done, he ſhall mount upon that
Horſe, ſo given him by the Mayor, with the
Banner in his hand 3 and being ſo mounted ſhall
bid the Mayor to chuſe a Marſhal for the
City Army. Who being fo choſen, ſhall com-
mand the Mayor and Burgers of the City , to
aſſemble the Commons, who ſhall go under this
Banner of St Paxl, which he ſhall bear to QID-
Nate 3 and being come thither they ſhall give it
to whom they ſhall think fit.

And if it ſhall fo happen, that they muſi
march out of the City, then ſhall the ſaid Kobert
make choice of two of the graveſt mien , out
of every Ward. to guard the City in their ab-
ſence and their conſultation ſhall be in the Pri-
ory of the Holy Trinity near Aldgate, And
before what Town or Caſtile this City Army
ſhall come, and continue the Seige, for one whole
year 3 this Robzrt ſhall receive from the Com-
monalty of the City an hundred ſhillings for his
pains and no more.

' Theſe were his Rights and priviledges in the
City of LOonDon, in the time of Warr.

VIZ, al

A] That the ſaid Robert ſhould have a Soke
(ideſt, a Juriſdiftion ) in the ſame City 3 ex-
tending from the Canonry of St. Pals, along
the Street before Panl's Brewhouſe , unto the
Thames; and thence to the fide of the
Mill, which is in the Water , that comes down
from Fleet-B2idge, and thence up by Lon-
Don- Wall, all about the Black-Friers unto Lud:
gate and ſo back to the Houſe of the faid
Friers, to the corner of 'the Wall of the ſame
Canonry of Pauls; id eft, all S. Andrews pariſh,
which was the gift of his Anceſtors for that
Royalty.

And to this Juriſdiction he ſhall have theſe
following particulars 3 viz. a Soke-man whomſo*
ever he pleaſe of that Juriſdiction (or Ward-)
And it any of that Ward be impleaded in the
Ouid-Hall, touching any thing whatſoever,
which relateth not to the body of the Mayor,
or Sheriffs z the Soke man may demand a Court,
and the Mayor and Citizens muſt grant it and
to have judgement there as in the Wutld-Þall,
viz, that if any Theif be taken within this Ju-
riſdiction, he ſhall have his reſtraint and impri-

as ought to be : But his Sentence hall not be
made known, till he come to the Court of the
Gaid Kobert, and within his Franchiſe. And his
judgment ſhall be ſuch, as that it he deſerve ſen-
tence of death for Treaſon, he ſhall be tied toa
Pile in the £hames, at the TUood-whartf,
where they uſe to faſten Boats, for the ſpace of
two Tides: And if for a Common Theit, then
to be led to the Elms, and there ſuffer judgment
as ſuch a one.
Moreover, this Robert hath ſuch an honor, as
that he ſhall have as large Priviledges in the
City, as the Major and Citizens 3 and the Ci-
tizens ought to do him right, z1z. When the
Major ſhall hold a great Council, he ought to
ſummon him and his heirs thereto, to be of that
Council, and the Council of the City ; and to
be ſworn thereof againſt all Men, except the
King of England, and his Heirs. And when
he comes to the Hmſtings in the OwIdhail
of the City, the Major or his Deputy ought to
' Tiſe, and ſct him next to himſelf. And when he
is in the HlilDhail, all Judgments ought to
proceed from his Mouth, according to the Me-
morials there Recorded. And all Waiffs which
are brought thither, whileſt hes there, he ought
to give themto the Bailiff of the Town, or to
whom elſe he plcaſe, by the advice of the
Major. |
Thus far as to his Rights and Priviledges in
time of Peace, I now proceed.

which they had with King John, he received | |

m their Rebcllious Army into it, in the Seven-
tcenth of that Kings Reign. Wherefore ſo ſoon
asthe King hcard thereot, he ſent " Falcaſius de
Brent (his great Favorite) with a mighty power
thither to ſummon it. Whereupon thoſe of the
Barons, who were in it, came to this Agreement
© with Falcaſins, viz. That it rclcit came not to
them within ſeven days, they would render it to
him and accordingly did ?. Soon after which,
the King gave 1 it to Falcaſms,

And as this William de Beauchamp had been an
ative perſon, in thoſe turbulent times, againſt
King John 3 fo did he continue againtlt King
Henry the Third, as is manifeſt from his being
taken priſoncr * in the Battle of Lincoln, 1 H.3.
But ſubmitting * to obedience before the end of

that year (as moſt did) he had reſtitution * of |

his Lands, which were ſciſcd upon for that tranſ-
grceſſion.

In 2 Hen.3. he paid ® ſixty one pounds ſixteen
\hillings, upon levying the firſt Scutage of that
King, for thoſe forty hve Knights-Fecs, and an
halt 3 a hfth and tweltth part,which he then held ;
and was * the ſame year in the Kings Army at
J2ewark.

In 7 Hen. 3. being Y (with other great Men)
in that expcdition then made into «(x1a{es, he
had * Scutage of all his Tenants in the Counties
of AJIOMeter , Dertiozdfhire, Weatod-
ſhire, Buckinghamſhire, Puntingoontire,
and Berkſhire, and deſerved fo well for that
ſervice, That the next year following, after the
King had cauſed *® the Caſtle of Bedt623 to be
wholly demoliſhed, and the Ditches thereof to
be filled up, he obtained a Patent * for the ſite
thereof, with liberty © to cret a Manſion upon
it, and to incloſe it with a Wall, not exceeding
the height of that which was for the leſſer Ward,
but to be without any Battlement.

In 10 H-». 3. bcing 9 in the Kings Army at
Groſmund in CTIelcs, againſt Kichsrd, Earl
Marſhal, then in Rebellion, he ſuffered with the
reſt of the Kings Forces, who were by a ſudden
ſurpriſe © from the Welſh, deſpoiled of all they
had thcre.

In 19 Hen. 3. he was conſtituted Sheriff * for
the Countics oft Buckingham and Bed 02d ;
in which year he obtained a Charter 8 to himſelf,
and Idz his Wife (who was the Kings Coſin )
that the Mannor of J1ewpo2t, of her Dowry,
ſhould theneetorth be exempt from ſuit to the
County, or Hundred Court, Aid to the Sheriff,
and View of Frank-pledge.

In 20 Hem. 3. at the ſolemn Nuptials of that
King, he performed * the Office of Almoner for
the ſame day. And in 21 Hen. 3. cxecutcd the
Office of Sheriff *, tor the Countics of Bedfozd
and 1ZuUCckingham. /

In 36 Her. 3. at the inſtigation * of his Wife,
he much afflicted ! the Monks of CCIAa-Don in
Sedtozdſhire , and diverſly oppreſſed ® the
Canons of J2ewnham, whom he ought to have

cheriſhed and favored, as my Author faith. And |

in 37 Hen. 3. gave a Fine ® of one hundred
pound to the King , that he might be excuſed
from attencing him, at that time, into Gal[-
cotgne.

In 41 Her.3. being grown aged, he ſetled ® all
his Eſtate upon Wili:zm his Son, whoſe homage
thereupon the King received? , ratifying 4 that
Grant 3 and the next cnſuing yeax, xcceived

command * to be at Cheſter , upon Munday

next preceding the Feaſt of S. Jobn Baptiſt, well 4

furniſhed with Horſe and Arms, to oppoſe the

| hoſtile incurſions of Lewelin, Prince of ({laltes,

It ſeems he was then in perſon there; for by a

—
r Clayf

ſpecial Writ, he was acquitted * for his Scutage 4

upon that expedition 3 and died * in 44 Hen, 3.
leaving an honorable fame * behind him, for
many great exploits, but cſpecially tor his muni-
hicence * to divers Religious Houſes.

To this William ſucceeded Simon (his Son and
Heir, I preſume) who being impleaded Y by Gry
de $, Valery, for his whole Barony of 75E0i0!d,
gave * him the Mannor of Aipeire, for compo-
flition. Which Simon died * ſoon after, viz. In
47 Hen. 3. leaving iſſue one ſole Daughter and
Heir, whoſe Wardſhip was granted * by the
King to Thomas de Savoy, ſometime Earl of
Flanders.

He had alſo a Brother called Wiliam ©, whs
{urvived him but a while z to whom ſucceeded
4 7ohn, another Brother. Which Joh: in 49 H.3.
doing his homage, had Livery © of that Inheri-
tancc 3 but taking part with the Rebcllious Ba-
rons, was ſlain * in the Battle of Eveſham,
before the end of that year. Whereupon the
King gave #all his Lands unto Prince Edward
his eldeſt Son 3 but ſoon after, by the Decree
called Didium de Kenilworth, there being a ſpecial
compoſition made for thoſe forfcitures z Maud
de Moubray ( Wite to Roger de Mowbray) and
Beatrix, the Wife of Thomss Fitz-Otes : Foane,
Ida, and 1ſab-l, Daughter of Ela, Wite of Bald-

plainly be inferred from that "Legacy wherein

that this 1/i!/iim, the Tiator, though his Lady

ſurvived William ds Manduit, hor Brother ( to

never had the title off Earl 3 but that Wilhum

In the hirlt whereof he calls his Sons Wite
Counteſ; , and in the ſecond plainly ftiles him
Farl. Which title he not only uſcd in that In-
ſtrument ® of Agreement, made bctwixt him ,
and Alice the Widow ot IW:!!lizm Mainduit, the
lati Earl, in 52 Her. 3. (whcrcot 1 have clfc-
where ſpoke: but hath the fame. title attribu-

tcd P to him by the Kings precept dated 9 Mar-
tii, next cnſuing, the Earl his Uncles death
(his Fathcr and Mother being then both alive)
By which precept 4 it 1s allo evident, that he
was in good cltecm with the King: toraſmuch
as it thereby appcars, that the King pardoned
his rclcif, z1z. one hundrcd pounds 3 and did
likewiſe acquit him of nincty five pounds. Which
(umme, William de Mauduit the lalt Earl owed
to a Jew in London. |

That this William de Beauchamp might juſtly |
bear the title of Earl, by right from his Mother,
ſhe being, Heir-gencral to 1Williim Mauduit,yho
laft enjoyed that Honor 3 conlidering the cultom
of thoſe clder timcs (as MF. Selden in his * 1 ities
of Honor hath obſcrvcd) I ſhall not ſtand here
to argue : but whethcr he ought to have ſo done,
before his Mothers dcccaſc, had it not been by
the Kings ſpccial favor, I make a quettion:; All
theretore, that I ſhall ſay thereto, is3 to ſhew
ſome probable rcaſon why that title was attri-
buted to him, during her time 3 which is, trom
what 1 tinde delivered by Leland f out of an
old Chronicle of the Geſis of England,
written in French (but with ſome Miſtake) The
words are thcſc

* The old Lord Beauchamp of Ihelmelep,
* ſent thrce or tour of his Sons to the Battle of
« Eveſham, to help King Hewry the third, and
* Prince Edward, againſt Simon Montford, and the

* Heir; and the rchidue were highly preterred.
* the beanchamps attcrwards KCPt the name of
* Earl of CIClarwlick, to King Edw. the tourths
** tiMC.

Now, that the ſubſtance of this is true , viz.
that tor the ſervice done in that Battle he had
(_by (pccial favor) the title oft Earl, is likely
enough; but that he or his Father did marry
thc immcdiate Heir of Bel/»»oxt;, or that the
B-ar ants kept the name of Earl till Edward the
{C urths timc, cannot be proved.

To rcturn to his Story.

This 1/i/!tzm wpon the ninth of February,
52 Her. 3. did his Homage * as Nephew and

Heoir to William Manduit the latk Earl tor all the
lands deſcended to him by his Fathers death. |

,

At which time the K. was pleafed 3 in conſide-
ration * of his laudable ſervices.to accept of him,
for thoſe which were. due from his (aid Father ,
unto the Exchequer, twenty pounds per aunmm,
untill they ſhould be run up: and in farther
remuncration of his ſervices , remitted * ninty
hve pounds of the ſame.

As to his military actions. In 2 Edw. 1. he
was (cnt * with Roger de Clifford ( a great Ba-
ron) and others,. unto the Ford of Yontgs-
mery, to examine, hear, and rcdrefs the wrongs,
and treſpaſſes done in thoſe parts, contrary to
that forin of peace, which was concluded be-
twixt King Henry the third and Leweline Prince
of C{Giales 3 and to retihe all things, accor-
ding to the tcnor of that agreement 3 at which
mecting the Prince of ClClales was to bez or
{end Commitlioncrs on this part, to manage that
bulincſs. PEEED

In 4 Edw. 1. he was made Y Captain gene-
ral of all the Kings forces in Chethire , and

Lancaſhtre, for the'defence of thoſe Counties
againſt the excurſions of the Welch: and the

next enſuing year attended * the King, in that

notable 1; vr into CIQlales, whereby he

became victorious there.

This Earl had * great ſuits with William de

| Breauſe, tor the Lordſhip of Ouwher ( com-

; wrongfully given by King

this Villiam de Beauchamp now Earl ) was in

his minority 3 but could not recover it.

In 10 Edw. 1, he was ® in that expedition,
then made into (lates.

In 15. E. 1. hewas © again ſent into @Tlales
at which time he beficgcd the Caſtle of D29l:
telan 3 and had ewo hundred and forty pounds
delivered to him by the Bithop of E1y , then

Lord Treaſurer, for defraying his charges in that

{crvice. At thar time the King being in France,
conſtituted 4 Edmund Earl of COmmwall , his
Licutcnant here in England, during his ab-
ſence : who taking ſpecial care to keep all in quiet,
direted his: precept © to this our Earl, and
other great men {trialy requiring them , that
they ſhould not ride with armed power. in any
part of the Realm, for any reſpe& whatſoever,
to the terror of the Kings leige people, and di-
{turbance of the peace; but, it any difference
did arize betwijxt them and others, thzy ſhould
make it known to. the Earl of 57 02mnwall, who
would apply a timely remedy thercto.

In 20 Ew. 1. he obtained the Kings Licence
f to raiſe an embattled Wall about part of his
Mannor Houſe at i)anflap, in Com Buck.

In'23 Edward. 1. being 8 again in CUIATES, *

with the” King, he performed a notable exploit *;
viz. Hearing that a great body of the Welch
were got together in a plain, betwixt two Woods;
and to ſecure themſelves had faſtned their Pikes
to the ground floping, towards their aſſailants;
he marched thither with a choice company of
Croſs-bow-men and Archers , and in the night
time, encompatiing them abGut , put betwixt
every two Horſc-mcn , one 'Croſs-bow-man 5
which Crofs-bow-mecn Killing many of them

after a ſharp diſpute, obtaincd a glorious victory 3
the number Main being ſuppoſed ten thouſand.
Which grear ſucces cauſcd the ſuddain render

In 25 Edw. 1. he received command ® to be

but upon farther conſideration, he was appoin-

conſtituted his Licutcnanrt for that time.

In the ſame year he was ® in that expedition

Enzliſh raiſed the fiege of St. Catherines. He
alſo had the Cuſtody P of the Caſtle and Foreſi

to his truſt: and before the end of the ſame
year, was appointed 14 to be at New-Caſtte
upon Ttn\(ziz. upon S. Nicholas day )to march
againſt the Scots, with Prince Edward: but that

roved an unhappy adventure 3 the Engliſh Army
Lig for the moſt part deſroyed *, in attempting
to paſs the Bridge at Sterling.

It was likewiſe this year, and on Holy-Rood
day (being in perfe& health) that he made his
Teſtament © ; whereby he bequeathed his body
to be buricd in the Quire of the Friers-minors
(commonly called the Gray-Friers ) at TU10}-
cefter, in caſe he ſhould depart this life within
the compaſs of the four Engliſh Seas : If other-

to that place where his death might happen 3
and his Heart, whercſvever' the Counteſs ( his
dear Conſort ) ſhould reſolve herſclt to be in-
terred. To which place of his burial, he bc-

. queathed two great Horſes viz. thoſe which

at his Funeral ſhould carry his Armor 3 for thc
ſolemnizing of which Funcral he gave two hun-
dred pounds, Moteover he gave. to the main-
tenance of two Souldicrs in the Holy-Land, one
hundred pound. To Maxde his Wife, all his

where ſhe ſhould think beſt.

To his two Daughters, then Nunns at|}

Shouldham, Comir. Norf. ( a Monaſtry of

their Great-Grandfathers foundation, by the Mo- |

As to his farther works of Piety 3 he was4

that in all things he would ſatisne their requelts.

a day and place aſſigned, when he ſhould be.

with a number of Armcd Men, and took him

not. Moi like it is, that Hwgh le Deſpencer ( the
great favorite of that time ) having a grant of
his Lands ( as hath been obſerved ) had alfo
the tuition of his perſon. But certain it is, that
in 12 Ed. 2. (which was about three years after
his Fathers death ) the King . wrote P to the
Pope 3 that, there having been great Contention

a fourth part. Which expedition was chiefly
intended ® for raiſing the Siege of OChel.
But, as the Eazl of PPemb2oke, ſent over for
that purpoſe , was wprſtcd by the Spaniarar ,
who then came with a great Navy, toayd the
French, (o King Edward himſclf , and that
power he had raiſed, were hindred * from get-
ting oVcr, by contrary Winds, to the loſs of nine
hundred thouſand pounds 3 for no lels a charge
had the King been at in order to this voy-
20

That dcſigne thus failing , he was, the next
enſuing year , again retained, ® to ſerve the
King in his Wars of France , for one whole

car, with two hundred men at Armes, and two
dey ak Archers , well mountcd, armcd, and
arraycd, under the conduQ of fohr of Ghant ,
Duke of Lancaſter $ Of wliich mcn at Armes
beſides himſelf,there were to be titty nine Knights
and an hundred and forty Eſquircs. And in |}
49 Edw. 3. was ſent?, by Commiſſion from
King Edward, into @Cotlantd , with whom
were Sir Guy de Bryenne, and Sir Henry le Scroop
Banncrcts, to treat with Will:am Earl of £90U-
ntas and others, aj pointed by the King of Scots
touching reſtitution ob thoſe Lands , which by
the truce formerly made did belong to the Eng-
liſh,

The ſame ycar alſo he accompanicd 4 Ed-
mund Farl of CatnbMiDge ( the Kings Son )
into *>21tanny, on the behalt of Fohx de Monnt-
fort Duke of 1Butanny , where they had great
ſucceſs in taking ſeveral Caltles, untill they were
r xccalled upon a Truce concluded , with the
French, :

In 50 Edw. 3. he was made Governor © of the
Iflcs of Gerneley, ©erk, and Qurenep. And
in 1R. 2, was by Indcnture * retained to ſcrve
the King, with two hundred men at Armcs, and
two hundred Archcrs, in his Warrs beyond Sca.

ot his rctinue one Bannerct, tour Knights, and
an hundred and fixty four Eſquires, well and-
ſaſhciently Mountcd, Armed, and Arraicd tor

for that ſervice to have a fit allowance * cut * tu, *
of the publick ticaſury.

And in 4 Ric. 2 was joyncd in commiſſicn
* with the Duke of Lanſalier, and others, to « x 5,
rectify ſuch abuſcs as had bcen committed by 93-2 ny,
the ſubjects of cither Realm, contrary to the
Truce made betwixt King Edward the third ard
David de Bruys of S(OtlandD. and tor ratifying
that league.

In 5 R. 2. upon that Barbarous InſurreQion
of the Commons, under the condu@t of Jack
Straw ( whercof our Hiſtorians do make an
ample relation ) he was ſent * to prote& the
Abby of St. Albans , then much in danger
by that rebellious Rout 3 and to do juſtice upon
the Villains. But as he was marching thither-
ward with a thouſand ſtout men, well armcd ,
and the Lord Thomas Percy in his company 3
news came to him, that the like Com,motion was
broke out where his own eftate lay 3 which oc-
calioning him to divert his courſe, and to ſcnd
but part of his Souldiers to the aide Y of the Ab-
bot, did much animate that bold rout, which had
thus gotten head at St, ARibans.

In 8 R. 2. he was retained 7 to ſerve the King |
in his Scottiſh Warrs.

How long the King continued under his tu-
tclage I hnd not: but certain it is 3 that , before
he arrived to mans eſtate, he took the reins of
Government into his own, hands, or ſuffered
them to be guided by thoſe favoritcs, of whoſe
miſcarriages he himſelf had at length moſt wo-
ful experience z the chief whereot was Robert
de Verc, Earl of DrfozD, advanced * to the
title of Marqueſs of Oublin , and afterwards
Duke of Jr£twnD 3 upon whom divers of the
Nobility, had, for thoſe reaſons, caſt very cn-
vious eyes: But ſo much did the King affct
this Marqueſs that, diſcerning who they were
that ſo maligned him 3 he layd Þ trayns to mur-
ther them z of which number were Thomas Duke
of Glouceſter (the K.own Uncle) and this Tho-
mas Earl of TClarwick 3 who, being men of
haughty Spirits, apprehending ſome | ec aPg
wards 3 aflociated more to their company, and
put themſelves in Armes at Darringhay * Park: ,
whercupon they conſtrained the King to call a
Parliament, the next enſuing ycarz in which di-
vers exorbitant things were done, through their
potency 3 as our Annals © of thattime will ſut-
hciently ſhew.

But about a twelve-month after, the King aſ+ }:55*.«
ſcmbling his Nobles: told them, he was now |
of age to govern himſclt, and the Kingdom;
and thercupon changed ſome of his great Officers,
and Councellors, whereof this Tho. E. of TUlar-

in CCLAles : allcdging, that the Proceſs, where- |
upon the Suit in Ring Edward the thirds time,
had bcen commenced, was dircctcd to the She-
riff of {)erefo2dfhire , whereas, the Land of
Howher , in queſtion, lay in CUales : ycatſo
fell out the iſſue of this bulineſs, though this
Error, it it were one, did nothing rclatc tothe

b It.
Nay this was not all : for jcalouſies and ſe-
cret grudges, harbored by divers great men ,
towards thoſe who were the Kings chict tavo-
rites ( and doubtlc(s adviſers in what hc had
done) and likewiſe by the King towards them
began now to ſhew their effects: fo that the
Kinp, having wedded ® Tfabel Daughter to the
King of France, (a Girl ſcarce cight years
old ) for better ſecuring the twenty ycars Truce
made i with that Nation , began to appreherd,
that nothing, could now hinder him from doing
what he liſted., and thereupon cauſed his Uncle
the Duke of Glouceſter, to be laid * hold on
at {21cthy in Effer , when he leaſt thought
thereof 3 and hurried him thence to C4-
lats , where he was ſecretly murthered 1 by
the before mentioned Thomas Mowbray z not
without thc Kings privity, as it was ſaid. And
the ſame ® day that the Duke of Guvoiſceſter
was ſo ſciſcd on, the King invited this our
Thomas Earl of CUarwiCk to a Featt: who
ſuſpeQing no danger came 3 but found it other-
wiſe : for there was he arrcſicd , and carricd
away priſoner 3 and putting ® himſelt upon the
Parliament for Juſtice, acknowledging the mcet-
ing, at Yartnghap-Park , had judgement ® of
death paſſed upon him : which hard ſentence
the K. (at the E. of Saltsburv's inſtance?) who
allcdgcd that he was ſeduced by the Duke of
Glotiiceſter, being an old man and ? withall,
that there were never any of the Beauchamps ,
that did treaſon againſt the Crown of Eng:
land) was pleaſed to ſuſpend, and, inſtead there-
of, baniſhed him to the Ile of Yau 3 where
he was to continue priſoner during his te, di-
reQing his precept 1 to Wiliam de Scrope, Earl, of
Wiltſhire, (who then had the © Dominion of
that Tſez) and to Sir Steph: ds Scrope Knight,
(datcd at CCeſtiminſter, 12 Ofob. in the ewen-
ticth year of his Reign) ſtraightly commanding
them to carry him thither, and put him in ſure
cuſtody, as they would be reſponſable body for

Bs his Caſtle and Mannour of TUar-

given * by the King unto Thomas Holland Earl

the rcſt of his Lands to others: and the next

But though this our Earl was thus baniſhed
to the Iſle of Ban, he continued not long
there 3 for on the twelfth of Fuly, 21 K. 2. the
Kings mandate * to the Conſtable ot the Tower
ot LONDON for his reception to impriſonment
there, bears date z where he remairicd during
the rcliduc of King Richards Reign & which was
not long: for notwithſtanding he had fo
ſtrengthened himſelf by that allyance with the
French (as hath been obſerved,) hilled his coffers
with vaſt fumms of money by loanes and
otherwiſe z pulled down, and ruined all whoſe
hdelity to himſelf he ſuſpe&tcd; and advanced
his Friends and favoritcs in that Parliament of
21 of his Rcignz which damned thoſe Acts,
that by the power of the great ones, had been
made in the Parliament of 11. Bchold the Mon-
ſter-multitude, agitated by the malice and am-
bition of his Enemics, took part with them,
whereby he came to be ſuddenly overwhelmcd
in the Gulph of abſolute deſtruction 3 being de-
poled from his Throne, and barbarouſly Mur-
thered (as the Story of thoſe times do manifeſt )
and Henry of Lancaſter Crowned K.in his room.
In the firſt year of whoſe reign, all that had
been done in the Parliament of 21 R. 2. being
made null Y and void

land Duke of SUrrep.bcſtowed on him; and in

2 particular that ſuit of Hangings , containing the

Story of the famous Guy 3 which had bcen forfci-

ted to the new K.by the then attaindcr of Holland,

But after this I find no more of his tempo-

ral imployment ( his death ncar approaching, )

I ſhall thcrefore take notice of his pious works 3

which were theſe.

In 49 Ed. 3. he eſtabliſhed Þ an Anniver-

ſary for his Father, in the Collegiat Church of
Ciarwick, for the ſolemnizing whercof , the

Deane, Canons, and Vicars of that Church, and

every Pricſt in (Ularwick, who ſhould come
to the Dirige and Maſs, was to have his Din-
ner and four pence in money. Moreover fix
ſhillings and cight pence to be diſtributed amongſt
the Friers of that Town; three ſhillings and
four pence to the Canons of S. Sepulcbres in
Warwick, and twenty ſhillings ycarly amongſt
the poor. In5R. 2. he built © one of the Cells
in the Monaſtry of Carthxfians near COventre 5
that being the time of its foundation. In6R.2.
he gave © the perpetual Patronage of the Church
dedicated to St. Fames (ſcituate over the Gate,
called Dongyn-gate in (Uarwick: ) to the
Gild of St. George z, there newly founded, in a
Chapel over the ſame Gate. And in ©15 R.2.
having fniſhcd the quire of the Collegiate Church
begun by his Fatherz and newly built f from

( which very Fabrick now ſtands) he gave the

\Fr Aurogr, Was retained Y to ſerve the King for one whole

(ec. year, with one hundred Men at Arms, and three

| hundred Archers; Fobx, Lord Qudiey, being
then of his Retinue.

In 4 Hen. 4. his Military Valor was ſingularly

as he had
performed his pilgrimage at R6me, returned to
Cierona, whcre he and his Chalenger were
hrſt to juſt, next to fight with Axes 3 afterwards
with Arming Swords , and laſtly, with' ſharp
Daggers. At-the day and place aſſigned for which
excrciſes, came great reſort of people, Sir Pan-
1»/ph entring the Lifts with nine Spears born |

the preſence of Sir Galeot of MJ
unto he gave his aſſent 8. And. as

| Baltredam told him privately, that he faithfully

before him : But the Act of Spears being ended,
they fell toit with Axes 3 in which cncounter Sir
Pandmlph received a fore wound on the Shoulder,
and had been utterly ſlain, but that Sir Galeot
cried Peace,

From thence * herravelled to CIenice 3 where + 5 1bi4y
being, nobly received by the Duke and others, * >
he had many great preſents given hit, by reaſon
of the honor he had fo gained at Cit rona.

When he came i to Ortultalem, hc had much
reſpect ſhewed him by the Patriarchs Deputy,
and having performed his Offerings at the Sepul-
chre of our Saviour, he ſet up his Arms on the
North ſide of the Temple 3 which continued
there many years after, by the relation of divcrs
Pilgrims that came from thence.

At the time of his being thus at Teruſalem,
a Noble Perſon, called Baltredam, (the Soldans
Lieutenant) hearing that he was deſcended from
the famous Sir Gry of CAarwick, whoſe Story
they had in Books of their own Language, in-
vited him to his Palace; and royally teaſting
him, preſented him with three Precious Stones
of great value; beſides divers Cloaths of Silk
and Gold, given to his ſervants. Where this

believed as he did, though he durſt not diſcover
himſelf 3 and rehearſcd the Articlcs ot the Crecd.

But on the morrow, he fcaſicd Sjr Bultredams
ſervants, and gavethcm Scarlet, with other Eng-

liſh Cloath: Which bcing ſhewed to Sir Baltre-
dam, he returned again to him, and ſaid , He
would wear his Livery, and be Marſhal of his
Hall. Whereupon he gave Sir Baltredam 2
Gown of Black Peak Furred 3; and had much dif-
courſe with him , for he was $kilful in ſundry
Languages.

From Jeruſalem he came © back to UIenfCe, ; 164
and was there yobly received. Thence travelled
heinto Kuitſia, Lithuanta, JÞoland, Þ2ut-

ſia, Weſtphalia, and ſome Countreys of Ger-
manp 3 ſhewing great valor in divers Tournea-
ments, whileſt he was in thoſe parts.

And no ſooner returned into Engiand, but
that he was by Indenture, dated 2 OdGob. 12 H.4.
retained | with Hemry, Prince of (Ulales, (after- t rx antogr.'
wards King, by the name of Henry the Fifth) to _ cierig
ſerve him as well in times of Peace as War,
both in this Realm, upon, and beyond the Seas,

for Two hundred and fifty marks per annxm, to

be paid out of the Princes Exchequer at Taer-
marthen, at Eaſter and Mi:haelmaſf , by even
portions : And whenſoever he ſhould be in that
Princes Court, to have four Eſquires, and ſix
Yeomen with him; and diet there for them all.
Provided , that the Prince m ſcrvice of War,
ſhould have the third part of what he got in Bat-

tle 3 and the Third of the thirds of what his
Men at Arms ſhould gain: And in caſe he took

any great Commander, Fort, or Caſtle, the Prince
likewiſe to have them, giving him reaſonable
ſatisfaction.

In the ſame year the was joyned ® with the m= Por. Scoe,
Biſhop of Durhamt, and others, to treat with ah 1g...
certain Commiſſioners from the King of Scots ,
touching a Peace betwixt both Realms.

Certain it is, that he ſtood in high eſtimation
with that Heroick Prince, with whom he had
been fo retained, as before is ſhewed 3 for at his

Having thus pointed at the cheif of his pub-
blick in.ployments, I now come to his pious
Works which, for his ſouls health, he na uri
ed in his lite tirt.e 3 or by his Teftament, appoint-
ed to be done by his Exccutors.

Of the firſt ſort, was the Foundation ? of that
Chantry at Eupes C i'ff, in 9:Hex. 6. in that
very place whereunto the fatrous Gy of Ta: :
wick, after his' many rerowned eaxplotts; re+
tired, and led an Hermitcs life : In which, be-

fore this Four:datioh, there ſiccd ? only a ſmall

Chappel, and a Cottage , wherein an Herritec
dwelt. To this Chantry, confiſting of two Pricſts,
who were to ſing Maſs daily in that Chappe|,
for the good cſtate of himſelt and his wite, du-
ring their livcs, and after wards for the health of
thcir ſouls; and the ſouls of alltheir Parents,
Friends, with all the taithtul deceaſed, he pave
2 the Mannor of Qfho2ne i» Com. War. with one
Meſſuage, and one Carucate of Land. and Five
pound ſeventeen ſhillings ten pence halt penny
yearly Rent, lying in CCihittiafſh and TUECtS:
vurns and eſteeming that not ſufficient, he
did by his Teſtament ® ordain, that in all haft,
the remnant of what he had deſigned for his
Chantry Priefts there, ſhould by his Exccutors
be delivered and made ſure to them: And that
the Chappel there, with the other Buildings,
ſhould be rcedihed, as he himſelf had deviſcd,
for the wholeſome and convenient dwelling of
thoſe Prieſts. The coſts of all which, with the
Conſecration of the two Altars- therein (as ap-
peareth by his Exccutors accompts ) amounted
unto One hundred cighty four pounds hve pence
halt penny. And in this Chappel thus newly
built, he cauſed a large and goodly ſtatue of the
famous Gwy, to be placed (which is ſtill there to
be ſeen.)

That magnificent Chappel adjoyning to the
Collegiate Church of our Lady in (Utarwick,

In the Hiſtory 5 of, the Foundation of
which Abby (viz. F 0:D) it is ſaid, That this
Richard de Redyers died without iſſue, and left
all his Inhcritance to Adelizz2 his only Siſter 3 as
alſo, that ſhe was thereupon called ® Adeliza Vice-
comitiſſa , and that, from this Adeliza, the Court-
»eys, at length Barons of Dkehampton, and
Earls of (eg uulſhire. did deſcend : But by
other Authorities it appeareth i, that he had three
Sons, viz. Baldwin, who ſucceeded him in his

d? $. Marie Eccleſia 3 and a Daughter * called
Hadewiſe ds Rnmara , Counteſs of Linioins
which Hadewiſe gave | to the Monks of Quar-
rt: 9, one yard Land lying in 12pvugctton,

I come now to baldwin his Son.

This Baldwin, upon the death of King Henry
the Firſt, adhering to Maud the Empreſs, was
the firſt ® that appeared for her, by fortifying
» his Caſtle at Ererer againſt King Stephen z
and likewiſe the Iſle of TURE, (which was of
his Inherltance ) for the better defending of
which Caſtle he ſpent much treaſure, in making
of certain Military Engines. Whereupon the
King raiſed an Army of Engliſh and Flemings,
wherewith he marched into Devonſhire, and
after a ſhort Siege, having taken ® that Caſtle ,
ſeiſed ? upon the Ifle of (CUght, with all other
his Poſſctſions 3 and expelled 4 him, with his
Wife and Children, out of England.

It is ſaid * by ſome, that the cauſe of this his
Rebellion againſt King Stephen,” was , forthat
the King retuſed to confer upon him ſome Ho-
nor, which he deſircd 3 yet afterwards he again
enjoycd his Earldom of Devon 3 but was com-
monly called © Exonienfis Comes, by reaſon of his
dwelling in that City.

This Baldwin was Founder * of the Abby of
Prwummoze in Wiltſhire 3 and for * the

. kgalth of his Soul , and the Soul of Adeliza his
* Wife 3 as alſo for the Souls of Richard his Fa-

thcr, Adeliza his Mother, and of King Hexry the
Firſt (who beſtowed that Land on his Father )

of S$. Martin de Champa (in the Suburb of JÞÞa-
iS) his Land and Chappel of S. Fames , with
the Tithes thereto belonging, ſituate without the
Wall:zof Ereter; as alſo ? the Church of Tt:
verton; which Chappel of S. Zames, thence-
torth bccame a Cell to that Forein Monaſtery.

Te the Monks of {2limpton, he was hke-

' W1C a BenefaGor, by. the Grant * of a Conduct
for Water unto that Priory, through the Gardens

|

\himfelf, touching

of his Tenants at ]olimutun 5 25s alſo * of the
Lord(hip of Harſtor.

Moreover, he was Founder ® of the Abby of
Muarrera, tor Cifterciin Monks in the Ile of
TWnht, in An.1122. (33 Hen.1i.) As allo ® of
the Priory of Chrijt Chir b, Cwiheham, for
Canons of S. Axgxitin:s Order, which was be-
forea Collegiate Church for Canons Secular. By
Lucia © his Wite, having iſſue *thrce Sons, K +
chard, William, and Herxry, he departed © thi;
life at QuUarrera, upon the ſecond Nones of
Fune, An. 1155. (1 Hen.2.) And was there bu-
ried f, with# Adelizz his Wite, and Herry his
Son, whodied in his youth.

Which Richard ſucceeding him in this Earl-
dom, held * the Shcriffalty of Devon, im 2 Hen.2.
And, having, in 7 Hen. 2. contirmcd i that Foun-
dation and Endowment of the Priory of
T wineham, which had becn made by himſclt
and Earl Baldwin his Father , dicd * the ycar
following (viz.8 Hen.2.) in the City of AJaunr X
leaving ifſye 1 by Dionyſiz ® his Wife, Daughter
of Reginald, Earl of COMnwal, wo Sons,
Baldwin ® and Kichard 9.

In 12 Hey. 2. upon the levying of that Aid
for marrying the Kings Daughter then aſſeſſcd,
there being no Certincatc ſent (as from others )
of the Knights Fees which this laſt Earl Ki-hard
held, by reaſon of his death, fo latcly before :
It appears?, That upon ghe Colle&tion of that
Aid in 14 Hen, 2. Reginald, Earl of C:021wal,
anſwered for them Fifty nine pound ſix ſhillings
eight pence (viz. a mark for cach Fce)) they be-

Jobn the Tyrant (as he calls him) who ſtuck at ,* 14.
no wicked act, conſtrained to marry that impij-

ous, ignoble, and baſe conditioned man, Falk d:

Breant, againſt her Will 3 of which marriage, he

ſays, one wrote theſe following lincs at that

timc.

Lex connediit eos, amor & concordia Jedi :
S$ed Lex qualis * Amor qualis ? Concordia qualis ?
Lex exlex, Amor exoſus, concordia diſcors,

And goeth on thus f, That ona time, being in [Ii

Bed with him, he dreamed that a Stone of an cx-

traordinary bigneſs, like a Thunderbolt, burſt

out of the Tower of the Church at S. Albans ;

and falling upon him , cruſht him to pieces.

Whereupon ſtarting out of his ſleep, and, with

great amazement,trembling 3 ſhe asked him what

the matter was, and how he did ? To whom he

anſwered, I have in my time undergone many perils,

but never was ſo much terrified, as in this Dream,

And having told hcr all particulars, ſhe replicd,

That he had grievouſly offgnded S. Alban, by

polluting that Church with blood, and plunder-

ing the Abby 3 and therefore adviſed him, for

preventing a more grievous revenge, to reconcile

himſelf to that holy Martyr. Wherefore, lodg-

ing. znen at Luptbn , he forthwith aroſe, and

went to $. Albans; and having ſent for the Ab- |
bot, fell upon his knees with tears, and holding
up his hands, ſaid, Lord have mercy xpon me, for
I have grievonſly offended God, and his Bleſſed Mar-
tyr S. Alban but toa ſinner there is mercy : Let
me therefore, by your leave, ſpeak to your Covent in
Chapter, to ask, pardon of them in your preſence for
what I have dove.» Whereunto the Abbot con-
ſcnted, admiring to ſee ſuch Lamb-like humility
in a Woolf : Theretore, putting off his appare],
he entred the Chapter-houſe, bearing a Rod in ;
his hand ; and, confeſſing his fault (which he

ſaid he did in time of War) received a laſh by

cvery one of the Monks upon his naked Body : -
And when he had put on his cloaths again, he
went and fate by the Abbot, and ſaid, This my
IWife hath cauſed me to do for a Dream ;, but, if you
require reſtitntion for what I then took, I will not
hearken to you: And fo he departed, the Abbot
and Monks being glad, that they were fo rid '
of = » Without doing them any more mif- |
cheif.

Which Iſabel being, thereupon in full ® poſ-

by her death, and the death v of A::/re her
Daughter and ſolc heir, without * iſſue. ſo much

Wite of Kobert de Courtney 5 whercupon they, at-
tained to the Earldom of £D£gvons as 1 thall
ſhew in due placc.

Ferrers,

He firſt of this Family, that ſetled in this
Realm, was Henry de Feriers , Son *® to

Gualcheline de Feriers, 3 Norman. Whe-
ther he accompanied Duke Wl:am at his hit
entrance hither is hard to ſay : for it is cvident,
that the Caltle of @Stutesburie (now called
Tutburie) given ® him, mer alia, by that re-
nowned Conqueror , belonging © to Hxgh de
Abrincis, a Norman alſo: And theretore , it he
came in attcrwards, it was certainly bctorc the
general Survey of this Realm , begun by that
King, about the fourtcenth year of his Reign 3
he being then one of the Committioners appoin-
ted for that great ſervice 3 as appcareth by this
notable Teſtimonial trom the Licger Book 4 of

That he was a perſon of much eminency both
for his knowlcdee and intcgrity therc is no doubt;
otherwiſe it is not like he ſhould have bcen trulicd
in (o high and weighty an imployment : neither

But this Wiliam was outcd of thoſc his Earl-
doms of J2ottingham and Derby , by King
Kichard the firſt, in the firſt year of his Reign,
as it ecms : For, upon that Kings firſt arrival
? in England, aftcr King Herry the Seconds
death, it appears, that he beſtowed ® them,
(with divers othcr) upon Fohn, Earl of QO2C-
ton, (his own Brother :) Howbcit, long, it was
not, that he continued fo diſpoſſcſſed 3 for he
attended that King in his voyage to the Holp

of Acon, in An. 1191. (3 Rich.r.) leaving iſſue
Wiliam, his Son and Heir, who in 3 Rich. 1.
paying * one hundred pound for his Reliet, had
Livery of his Lands.

Of the great misfortunes which befcl King
Richard in that journey, I necd not here tell,
our Hiſtorians ſpeaking, ſo fully thereof 3 nor of
the advantage which John, Earl of Mo2eton,
thereupon made, in ſcifing divers Caſtlcs, here in
England, to his own uſe 3 reporting his Bro-
ther King Richard, to be, dead 3 and thereupon
laying claim to the Crown : But ſhall obſerve,
that upon ! the return of King Richard into
England, order ® was given for the Sicge of
thoſe Caſtles: Whereupon, this our Willzam, Earl
Ferrers, joyned * with the Earl of Cheſter, in
the belieging of Nottingham Caſtile , which

fidclity, made choice of by the King, to lit ® with
the rclt of the Peers in that great Council there
held on the thirticth of Mrch following. More-
over, at his ſecond Coronation, he was one of the
four that carricd P the rich Canopy over his
head.

And in the firſt year of King Fobx, with the
Earls of Clare, Cheſter, and other of the
great men, {wore fcalty to that King 3 but with
condition *, that cach ſhould have his own ren-
dred. At thc Coronation alſo of King Fohx,

Notwithfianding all which, this Robert being,
unſatisfied , by his Bill * in the Kings Bench, cx-
hibitcd the Qrind. Paſch, 53 H. 3. complain-
ed, That by rcafon of thoſe his tranſgrcſions
in thc time of the late troubles 3 and then laid to
his charge, the King had given to th&etore ſpe-
citicd Edmund, all the Lands and Tenetents of
him the ſaid Robert, lying in the Countics of
Dtaffow , Derby, Leiceſter , and
Lancaſter , excepting the Caſtile and Man-
nor of Chartley Com. Staff. and the Town
of Dolb2oke i» Com. Derb. And that though he
had always bcen rcady to ſtand to that Decree,
called Ditium de Kenilworth , and to redeem his

». Lands according to the tenor thereof 3 never-

thele(s, that the faid Edmund did fill unjuſtly
dctain them,

And in 2 Fdw, 1. renewing his Plea ® in the
ſame Court, did alleage , That though he had
been ever rcady to ſtand to the Decree callcd
Dilinm de Kenilworth, and to redeem his Caſtles
and Lands accordingly 3 nevertheleſs, that the
King had beſtowed them all; excepting the Caſtle
and Mannor of Chartlep i Com. St:ff. and
Town of Dolb:oke i Com. Derb, upon the
before ſpecified Edmund : And, that he the ſaid
Fog ms did thereupon detain them from him.

Whereupon Edmrnd being called to fhew what
reaſon he had ſo to do, this Robert inſtancing,
that he had offered him ſeven years value for
them ; anſwered, that he didnot hold himſelf ob-
liged to reſtore them, in regard, that the Dectee
called Ditium de Kenilworth was not made, when
he the ſaid Robert came to him, and convenanted
eo pay him hfty thouſand pounds for the redemp-
tion of them, and for his cnlargement from pri-
(on; as alſo, that the ſaid ſum of hifty thouſand
pounds, was by agreement to have been paid up-
on the wind. of S. Fobn Baptiit, in 53 Hen. 3.
And moreover, that he the (aid Robert then
brought Henry, Son to the King of Romans, IWil-
fi2m de Valence, Earl of JIemV2oke,and others,
who undertook for the payment thereof accord-
ingly. And likewiſe, that for their indempnity,
hedid at that time mortgage all, his Lands and
Tenements, with condition, That if the Money
wcre not paid accordingly, then his Sureties
ſhould paſs thoſe Lands to him and his heirs, un-
til that whole ſum ſhould be paid at one entire
Pr_ And he farther ſaid, That the Money

cing not accordingly paid, nor any other ſatis-
faction given, thoſe his Surctics did accordingly
paſs thoſe Lands unto him, and that he had poſ-
(cihon of them accordingly, exhibiting the Deed
made by the ſaid Robert. unto them, which fully
inpowrcd them to do what they had ſo done.

But thereunto Robert replied, That this Deed
was by him ſo made and ſealed at CTyppcham,
upon the Feaſt day of the Apoſiles Philip and
cob, 53 Hen. 3. at ſuch time as he was a pri»
ſoner there 3 and that, being beforc in the Kings
Priſon at CCUnD(02e, he was carried thence to
C yppcham, where he fo ſcaled the ſame as a
priſoner, and for fear of corporal miſchcif. And,
moreover, that when he had fo done, he was
taken thence by Armed Men, and conveyed
with a ſtrong guard to the Calile of CUlalling.
fo2D, where he remained for three weeks after.
in reſtraint, until Prince Edward (afterwards
King) did procure his liberty.

\W hereunto Edmund rcjoyned, That this Alle-
gation of his being a priſoner, was not of any

validity , in regard, That aftcr hc had fealcd thr
Deed, he came bcfore Mr. Fobs: de Chiſhull, then
King Henries Chanccllor 3 and acknowledging
what he had done, cauſcd it to be cnrolled in
the Rolls of the Chancery : So that it bcing
thereby done, as in the preſence of the King, his
Chancellor repreſenting the King 3 or in the
Court before his Officers, who make Record
thereof 3 it could not be ſaid to be done as a pri-

ſoncr, every Man bcing there free to expreſs his
mind fully.

But to this Robert again re;licd , That though
he did not deny the ſcaling of that Decd, in the
preſence of Fobn de Chiſhull, it ought not to pre-
judice him any more than his doing thereot in
priſon; for he ſaid, That the very day he fo
ſcaled it at C yp"eham, Fobn de Chifhull came
thithcr to him with that writing, he then being
in a certain Chambcr there, in ſirict cuſtody 3
and demanding, of him , Whether it was his Act
and Deed, or not ? he thin, for fear, acknows
ledged it ſoto be. A::4 that farther asking him,
Whether he was willing it ſhould be enrolled in
the Rolls of the Chancery £ He did, by reaſon of
the like fear, aſſent thercto. And morcover added,
That as to his bcing then a priſoner, he referred
himſclf to the tryal of the Countrcy, or to the
teſtinzony of the ſfamie Mr. John de Ch hull (then
Chanccllor,) affirming, That he did thencetorth
continue a priſoner until the King cauſed his en-
largment as aboveſaid, offering to ſtand or fall
by the Kings Teſtimony therein. And he farther
allcaged, That his acknowledgment of that Decd
ought not to have the force of a Record , and
conſequently to oblige him, in rcgard it was nof
made in open Court, but in the preſence of the
Chancellor only, who was then at a great diſtance
from the Court, and had neither Roll nor Clerk
there to record the fame 3 for that he came to
him in his Chamber , where he was a priſoner,
and not as the Kings Chancellor, but as a private
perſon.

Whereunto Edmmnd again anſwered , That
there was no neceſſity of any tryal thereof by the
Countrey, nor the teſtimony of the Chancellor,
or the Kings judgment theseinz for as much as
he acknowledged, that he did it in the preſence
of the then Chancellor, and that it was there-
upon enrolled, &c. as aboveſaid.

But notwithftanding all theſe Arguments, the
Court diſmifſed © his Suit, ſo that he could have
no remedy for the regaining of thoſe his Lands.
Whecreupon he loſt Tutbury Caſtle, and other
vaſt Poſſeſſions, which Edmand, then Earl of
Leiceſter and Lancaſter, and his Deſcendants,
thereupon enjoyed.

But this was not all, for he loſt his Earldom
likewiſe.

All that T have farther ſeen of this Robert, 1s,
That by his Letters © Patents bearing date at

Founded 4 a Chantry in the Chappel of 4l-

beit, long after it was not, that the diſcontents

and having advertiſement from hence, how ill
affected the people ſNood to King Richard, ad-

Adding ®, that, through the malicious ſuggeſtt- |
ons of their Encmics, the King was ſo diſpleas
ſed with them, that they could not be admitted
to manifelt their innocency, and to be Jegally
juſtihed by their Peers, until the Lords Spiritual
and Tcmporal had interceded for them. Where-
upon ® divers, who ſaw their Remonſtrance, ap-
proved of thoſe thcir endeavors , and extolled
thcir faithfulneſs, which they thus pretended to
the publick.

But aftcrwards, that they might the ſooner
captivate the people, they cauſed it to be told
P throughout the Countrcy, that King Richard

and on his bchalt, they thus took up Agms 3
whom they might ſee in the Caſtle at Cheſter,
if they would repair thither , well accoutred to
joyn with them. Which fiQtitious pretences did
really ſtagger many 3 for a great part of the com-
mon people ſioed cordially 4 affected to King
Kichard, and ſpecially thoſe * who knew him,
and had obtained Gifts and Fees at his hands.

It is faid © by ſome, that this Hotpwr, raiſed a
reat part of his Army in the Marches of @Cot-

{anÞd, . under colour of advancing Into that
Realm: And that all his Soldiers wore King
Richard the Seconds cogniſance, viz. An
Hart.

The King therefore, to undeceive ſuch as
they had thus deluded 3 repreſented to ſeveral
perſons, by his Letters *, that the Earl of J2v;-
thumberiund, and this Hexry his Son, had re-
ceived a great part of the Money, granted in Par-
liament, for the defence of the Marches of
Scotland (as he could clearly manifeſt.) And,
whereas they had reported, they. could not be
admitted to his preſence, by reaſon of the falſe
ſuggeſtions of their enemies, without the modi-
ation of the Prclates and Temporal Lords . that
" he had, under his Royal Signet, declared, They
ſhould have free .accelſs to him, and receſs again,
without damage. Adding, That it was their
head-ſirong inſolence, ſcorning his Royal Favor,
which prompted them thus to rebel, and march
to Sh2ewsbyryp , in hopes of -afliſtance from
Owen Glendowr , and Edmund Mortim:r , with
certain of the Cheſhiremen and Well But
ſceing * no fair means would avail, conſidering
the haughty ſpirit of this Horfpxr, (though the
Earl his Father did not at that time go out of
the bounds of his own Countrey) he reſolved
Y to give him a ſpeedy mecting, before he had
por together a powerful Army. And therefore

alted * towards him 3 he being then near
Sh2eingsbury, with purpoſe to get into that
ſtrong Town.

But Hotſpr, hearing of the Kings approach,
made ® a ſtand 3 and boldly encouraged Þ his
Soldiers to fight with. thoſe that thus purſued
them, ſaying ©,” Stand to it valiantly, for this day
will either advance ws all, if we conquer , or free us
from the Kings power, if we be overcome , it bei
more bonorable to fall in Battle for the publick good,

then after the fight to die by the Sentence of an |

Enemy, With whom all his Army concurred,
(which was © to the number of Fourteen thou-
Fand choice Men, who had reſolved to live and
die with him) having got f the advantage of the
Ground.

Both ſides being thus prepared, the Abbot of
Shzewsbury, and Clerk of the Privy Seal,

|

ſtout Hotfur , in caſe he would lay down
Arms, |
Whereupon he ſent ® his Uncle Thomas, Earl
of Worceſter, to the King, to let him know
the cauſe of this their hoſtile appearance, and to
require effeQtual ſatisfaCtion. It is ſaid *, that the
King did aſſent to whatſoever was reaſonable,
and ſtooped farther then became His Royal Dig-
nity todo: But, that the Earl, when he returned
to his Nephew , miſrepreſented his cxprefons ,
and cxaſpgrated him (though unwillingly) to
fghtz ſo that he forthwith began * the Battle
upon the Eve of S. Mary Magaalen, An. 1403.
which was fought | with extravrdinary courage
on both lides 3 inſomuch, as great ſlaughter en-
ſuing, trany of the Royaliſts forſook ® the Field,
ſuppoſing ® the King had been lain.

In which heat Hotſpur himſelf, and the Earl
.Donglss (whoſe valor was *beyond expreſſion)
bent P all their aim at the perſon of the King,
with their Swords and Lances turiouſly making
towards him. |

Which being diſcerned 4 by the Earl of
£unhar, he withdrew 7 him from his ſtation,
whereby his life was then ſaved 3 for they flew
his Standard-Bearer, and thoſe who were with
it 3 and miſling of him, moſt deſperately, charg-
cd © into the midſt of their Enemies z whereu
FiotF ur ſuddenly fell ®, though by what hand,
not known. Whoſe death immediately occafi-
oned an utter rout * of his whole party 3 in
which the Earl Douglas was taken ?, fo likewiſe
the Earl of (CIOMcCefter 3 the unhappy inſtru»
ment of all this miſcheif.

By Elizabeth, the eldeſt Daughter? to Edmund
Mortimer, Ear] of yatch, this courageous Hot-
ſpur left iſſue one Son, viz, Henry, and one Daugh-
ter called Elrzab:th, firſt * married to Fobn Lord

tage of Aontgomerie, he paid * tix marks

him is, that he confirmed * to the Canons of

ing two Ox-gangs in Apletrewic, which he

Son and Heir to Robert the elder. This Ranwlph,
; CRot Fin. being in | minority at his Grand-Fathers death,
th -""o obtained * liberty of the King , that his friends
* .- might Plough and manage his Lands 3 and in
t Comp. Tho, --13 Edw, 1. had Livery | of the Mannors of
nn Revs ap IKagSkelf, Dutton, and Doton, part of his
Kegis inter Inheritance. :
EE . About” this time there hapning ® much vari-

ance betwixt the Inhabitants of the Biſhoprick,
jet. and Anthony Beke, (that great Prelate) then Bi-
ſhop of £5urham, by reaſon ® he had compelled
them to go twice into SCOtland with Horſe
and Arms , which thcy alleaged ® to be con-
trary to right, in regard they held their Lands,
todefend the Body of S. Cuthbert ; and that they
ought not, neither for King or Biſhop, to go bc-
yond the Rivers of Tine and Tele : This
Rannlph de Nevill, and Fobn de Marne, were
P the chcif countenancers of thoſe who thus op-
poſed the Biſhop.

qtatioke» Andnot long after that, fellout another 9 dif-

rr. ene. ference betwixt this Ranulph, and the Prior of
h 76 Cane.) Durham , about the offering of a Stag every
36 a.

ycar, upon S. Cuthberts day in September 3 which
(in truth) was rathcy a Rent then an Oblation,
in regard he held Raby, with the eight adjoyn-

ing Townſhips, by the ycarly Rent of tour pound

eC and a Stag. For”, contrary to the cuſtom of
his Anceſtors, he not only required, that the
Prior of Durham, at the offering of that Stag,
ought to feaſt him, and all the company he ſhould
bring : But that the Priors own menial ſervants,
ſhould for that time be ſet aſide, and his peculiar
ſervants and officers put in their ſtcad. Where-

- upon\#, amongſt other of his gueſts, he invited
Fobn de Baillol of Barnard Caſtle, who xc-
fuſcd to go with him alleaging, That he never
knew the Nevills to have ſuch a priviledge there
Sir William de Brompton (the Biſhops chcif Ju-
Kice) likewife acknowledging, That he himſclf
was the firſt who began that extravagant pra-
Ciſe : For being a young Man, and delighting
in Hunting, he came with the Lord Nevill at the

2

| Come let ws go into the Abby and Wind orwr Horns ;

and ſo they did. ' The Prior farther adding t,
That before the tim.c of this Ranulph, none of
his Predeccſors ever made any ſuch claim 3 but
when they brought the Stag into the Hall, they
had only a Breaktaſi': Nor did the Lord himſelf
cvcr fiay Dinncr, except he was invited,

In 22 Edw.1. this Kanwlph xcccived command
v to attend the King at JIO2timouth, upon the
hiſt of September, well furniſhed with Horſe and

in his Lordſhips of Douton and Stokton

In this year likewiſe, doing his Fealty * to
Ourham, upon Lammas day,
for the Mannor of Raby 3 he told ® him, that
he would offer the Stag as his Anceſiors had
done ; ſaving that, whereas his Father required,
that the Priors ſervants ſhould be ſet alide at
that time, and his own ſerve in their ftead 3 he
would be content, that his ſhould attend toge-
ther with thoſe of the Priors : And, whereas
his Father inſiſted, that his ſervants ſhould only
be admitted at Dinner 3 he ſtood upon it, that
his ſhould be-there entertained the whole day,
and likewiſe the morrow at Breakfaſt.

Whereunto the Prior made anſwer*, that
none of his Anceſtors were ever fo admitted ,
and that -he-would rather quit the Stag, then
ſuffer any new cuſtome to the prejudice of their
Church. But to this, Ralpb replied, That he
would perform the whole ſervice, or none, and
put the tryal of his right upon the Countrey.
The Prior therefore knowing him to be ſo power-
ful, and that the Countrey durſt not diſpleaſe
him, declined the offer : Howbeit, 'at length,
to gain his favor, in regard he had no ſmall inter-
eſt at Court, and might do him a kindneſs or a
diſpleaſure, was content for that one time he
ſhould perform it as he pleaſed 3 fo that it might
not be drawn into examplc afterwards : And to
that purpoſe propoſed, that Indentures ſhould be
made betwixt them.

Whereupon ? the Lord Nevill brought but few
with him, and thoſe mbre for the honor of the
Prior then aburthen 3 and 6, ſhortly after Din-
ner, took his leave, but left one of his ſervants
to lodge there all night, and to take his Break-
faſt there on the next day: Protcſting *, that
being both a Son and Tenant to the Church, he
would not be burthenſom to it,in reſpect it would
be no advantage to himſelf, but might much
damnikie it, if he ſhould bring with him as great
a Train as he would, ſaying, What doth a Break:
Faſt ſignifie to me ? Nothing.

And likewiſe, That if the Prior would ſhew
that he had no right to what he ſo claimed, he
would freely xecede therefrom : And if he bad
a right, he would accept of a compoſition for it,
rather then be burthenſome to the Covent : But,
if they ſhould put him toget his right by Law,
then he would nat abate any thing thecol

Wherecupon inquiry being made amongſt the
eldeſt Monks of that Houſe, they affirmed, that
being of eight years ſtanding when his Father
was before repulſed , thcy had often ſeen the
Stag offered 3 and that he never ſtaid Dinner,
but when the Prior invited him. And ſome an-
cient Men of the Country teſtified as much : As
alſo, that ſo ſoon as the Stag was brought, they
carried him to the Kitchin 3 and thoſe who
brought him, were taken into the Hall to Break«

or, his Cook was admittcd into the Kitchin to
prepare a Diſh for him : Solikewiſe another ſer-

manner ſome other at the Gate, who knew his
ſervants and followers 3 meerly to let them in,
and kecp out others, who, under pretence of
being his ſervants, might then intrude : But this
was only done by the Prior, as out of courtelic
and reſpe&, and not atall out of right.

afhrmcd, That the had been of Counſel with

Some ſaid, that, making this Claim out of his
own Fee, he ought there (viz. in the Priory)
to ſhew ſome ſpecial evidence to affert his Claim.
Others, that as the Prior did challenge nothing
of him, but what was reſerved by the Grant 5
ſo could not he, unle(s he ſhewed a Charter for
it, And beſides ©, claiming to be entertained
with as many as he ſhould bring, and not ſpeci-
fying the number, there could be no lawful rea-
ſon for it, becauſe the Stag was always offered on

had been the cuftom of the Prior to make a Feaſt
on that day, when the ſervants of ſo great a per-

His Rich 2rd, having taken to Wife * Anne
the Daughter of Richard Beauchamp Ear)
of Warwick, Coufin Þ and Heir to

Anne, ſole Daughter and Heir to Herry Duke |*

of AUarwick; obtained by reafon there-
of, as alſo in Refpe& of his ſpecial ſervices
about the Kings perſon, and in the Warrs of
Dcorland, as the Patent © ( bearing date 23
Fulii next after the death of the ſame Lady
Annz,which hapned ©3 Fan Ann 1449 27. H..)
doth import, a confirmation and declaration to
himſelf and- his ſaid Wife, and to her Heirs,
of the dignity and title of Earl of (Uarwick ,
with all preheminencies, that any of their an-
ccltors, before the Creation of Henry Duke of
CUarwick, uſed. Shortly after which by Fine
e lcavied Dvind. Trinit. 28 Hen. 6. they entailed
the Caſtile of CUIarwick, with divers Lordſhips
in that, and ſixteen other Counties, upon the
iſſue of their two bodies lawfully begotten 3 and
in default thereof, upon the iffae of her the ſaid
Aune, with remainder to Margaret eldeſt Daugh-
ter to the ſame Richard Beauchamp late Earl of
Warwick, and her Heirs.

This is that Richard Nevill who was com-
monly called the ftout Ear! of (Ularwick : and
well he might be ſo termed, in regard he bore
ſuch a great ſway, towards the latter end of
King Herry the ({ixth, and gart of King Edward
the fourths Reignz having been an eminent
aQor in thoſe tragick broiles , betwixt the Houſes
of Lancaſter and Po2#, as our Hiſtorians do
fully manifeſt: for about the 3o of Hey. 6 he
fided f with Richard Duke of POrk, who did
at that time firſt put himſelf in Armes, under
pretence of reforming what was amiſs in the
Government. The true cauſe of this * taking his
part, being a variance betwixt himſelf, and the
Duke of Somerſet, which happencd in the
Court of King Henry the fixth , and that' the
Qucen adhercd to the Duke of Damerſet there-
in. But the Duke of oo being not then
powerful enough, to go through with his deſigne,
ſubmitted himſelf; making ® Oath thenceforth
to become a true and faithful Subjet. Howbeit,
the next year after, having a ſtronger foundation
tor his enterpriſc ; chiefly through the intereſt
he had in this potent Earl ,: and the Earl of
Daltsburp his Father 3 he broke ® out again ;

and in 33 Her. 6. at S, Albans aſſailed the

Kings Forces ( where this Earl entring i through |

a Garden, gave the firſt onſet) and ſlew many ;
ſeized upon the King himſelf, cauſed a Parlia-
ment to + Beaarms k made himſelf ProteQor
ot the King, and this our Earl of (Uarwick

Captain of }Cal[ats, But by the power of ſome |

F

|

others, who ſaw what was aimed at, he was ir
that time hindred in his ſpeed. Whereupon ,
the King coming ® to Coventrte , in 35 of
his Reign, hoped

and to that end ſent for the Duke by Letters,
23 alſo for this Earl and his Father, who came
accordingly. Nevertheleſs, being there , and
pretending ſome ill intentions towards them,
they got * away 3 Pozk to (UIgMo2e in the
Marches of Tales 3 Salisburpro his Caſtle
at Mtddleham in che North ; - and this Earl
of Warwick co Calais, Howbeit after ſome
fair overtures , they were content to come to
London, ſo as they might have ſtore of fol-
lowers. Whereupon this Earl brought ® with him
fix hundred men in Red-Coats , embroidered
with white Ragged-Staves, before and behind.

This was in 36 Hen. 6. where, and at Which
time all things were peaceably accorded P in ſhew:
but there happening not long after, an affray 4
( ſeil. in 37 Hen, 6.) betwixt a Servant to the
King, and one of Warwick's followers 3 it gave
colour of report, that there was a defigne to kill
the Earl z which occaſioned him to take his
Barc, and haſt ” to CalatS. Thither there-
fore the young Duke of Somerſet was ſent,
"as Captain z but this Earl would not *reſigne ;
maintaining himſelf there, with the great Booty
he had got at Sea, as Admiral ( no lefs worth
then ten thouſand pounds) for he had after two
dayes fight, taken three Carricks of Genoa ,
and two of Spain, hden with Merchandize
with the loſs ® of about an hundred men of his
own, and a thouſand of theirs.

After which ( ſci. in 38 Hen. 6.) he brought
* over a Band of ſtout Soldiers from Calats
and with them a valiant Commander called
Andrew Trollop, to a general Rendezvous, which
the Torkiſts had, at ! Ludefo2d in Derefo2d-
ſhtre, on the Vigil of the _ of S. Ed-
ward the King z where he produced * certain
perſons before the people to ſwear that the Kin
was deceafed z cauſing * Maſs to be ſaid, und
Offerings made, that they might the leſs dread
to take the Field. * But Trollop, who had ſerved
formerly againſt the French, and done notably
finding that this Earl and the rcſt, had foul in-
tentions (whereas his preſervation and honor
was the only thing pretended) got away privately
with a choice ſort of men, and came ® in to the
King: which did ſo much daunt the Torkifs ,

put themſelves in order to fight, the Vant-guard
being led ® by this Earl of (Ularwick 3 in ſo
much as a -Bloody Battle enſued, upon the nineth
of July, wherein the King himſelf was taken,
n and many a gallant man ſlain,
Howbeit, after this, the Queen raiſed ® more
[5% power in Pozkſhire , whereof the Duke of
Po2k having intelligence , ſoon haſted thither 3
and meeting with the Royaliſts at TUakefteld,
(Ann. 39 H.6.) there felt the reward of his per-
fidiouſneſs, being fatally lain in that Battle.

Hereupon ſhe advanced 4 towards London,
' where this Earl and his party then* in Armes,

on the behalf of Edward Earl of arch, Son
and Heir to the lain Duke of Pk, then werez
( having the King along with them) who en-
deavoring to ſtop her paſſage at St, Aivans,
were there routed at which time the perſon of
the King was recovered.

But it was not long after cre the Earles of
| MDarch,-and this our Earl of TUHarwick, ha-
(hv, 54. ying by flight eſcaped , made up © towards

London, with a mighty power. Which (6
affrighted the Queen, notwithſtanding her hte
ſucceſs at Sk.Atbans , that ſhe. again retired
with the King and Prince towards the North:
Which gave ſuch encouragement to the Torkiſts
that LONDON received them without oppoſitibnz
f that the Earl of March , from this time
forwards, taking upon him the title, was pro»
claimed © King; by the name of Edward the
Fourth 4 and —_—_— haſted Northwards, againſt
thoſe Forces, which King Hemrry had raiſed
there : But at Ferribrigg recciving ſome loſs,
whereat divers were ſtaggered, this Earl to en-
courage others, flew * his own Horſe in King
Edwards preſence , ſaying *, Let bim flee that

Certain it is, that this great Earl, was * the

was for that of Lancaſter. So that Comines
t ſaith, that he might juſtly be called King
Edward: Father 3 as well for that he trained him
up, as for the great ſervices he did bim: - for
the which that King ſo highly rewar1lcd him :
For, belides his own Inheritance ( which was
great ) he had divers goodly Lordſhips of his

y attainder 3 as alſo. divers grcat Offices: ſo
that, I have heard, faith hc, that bis Revenucs
were valued at fourſcore thouſand Crowns per
annm, beſides his own Inheritance. But to pro»
ceed, ſhortly after this, being ſent! into France,
and employed ® to treat there on the be-
half of King Edward touching a Marriage be-
twixt him and the Lady Boxa, Daughter to
Lewes Duke of Wavov (Siſter to the French
Queen) and therein (ped ſo well, as that it was
reſolved ® the Earl of Dampmartin ſhould
ſpeedily come over into England ro confirm
the match; ſo it happened ®, that King Edward,
hunting in CCUIpchwood Foreſt, chanced to fix
his eyes upon Elizabeth the Widow of Sir Fobn
Grey{ and was ſo captivated with her Beauty,
that he would not ? hearken to what this Earl

| had done for him in France.
It is faid by ſome?, that after King Edward , pet. virg

had obtained the Crown through the power of ' 2» 5'+
this Earl; ſuſpeRing danger by his greatneſs, he
endeayored to diminiſh him all he could 3 which

being diſcerned *, he ſought all occaſions to work

breach betwixt them, was3 that, having uſed

many arguments to diſwade the King from mar-

rying of Margaret his Siſter, to Charles the Son of

Philip Duke of Burgundy (whom he mortally '
hated )he could not prevail. But this was mercly
a ſhadow 3 others * believed, that he grew thus

Calais, with ® half the Lands of her Mothers

Hcreupon he cauſed ® his ewo Brothers (viz.

ſurpriſed ® him in the night, and taking him
from his Bed, carried him priſoner * to his Caſtle

and afterwards to Pindicham

King Edward was forced toflec theLand : So
that then, having no rub in his way, he centred

Admiral of England.

But before the revolution of one year, King

Edward landed 4 here again, and increafing in

Clarence. that he made f his peace with him ;
and offered 8 to do the like for this Earl (his Fa-

Sword to determine the buſineſs, it came to be

had been Founded".

made by the Welſh, received Summons i (as did

Nevertheleſs, ſoon after this (viz. in 48 H.3. )
adhering ! to the Rebellious Barons , he was

54 Hen. 3, 'leaving iſſue by Iſubel de Mortimer,
his Wife *, Richard, his Son and Heir, hve years
of age, upon the Feaſt day of S. Baſe.
Shortly after which , viz. in 1 Ed. 1. the
cuſtody of the Caſtle of Blancminſter, and
all other the Lands of this laſt deceaſed Job,
were committed Y to Fobn de Oxinden, and the
Wardſhip of the ſaid Richard granted * to Roger

8 Edw.1 obtained the cuſtody * of the Cable and
Honor of Arundel, during his minority 3 fo
likewiſe Þ, of the Caſtle of 1Blancminſter. and

Ward) and obtained a Grant © for a Fair at his
Mannor of Arundel in Duſter, upon the Eve,
Day, and Morrow, after the Fealt of the Inzen-
tion of the Holy Croſs.
That this Richard, thus poſſgſſing the Caſtle

After which, that Pardon which he pleaded |
dated at CUmnDſ0?, 3o Apr. 16 Ric. 2 was xe-
voked ® in Parliament.

It is ſaid P by ſome, that the Chief reaſon of
the Kings wrath towards him was 3 that, at the
ſolemn Funeral of the Queen and carrying
hcr Corps from St. Pauls to Cachminſter, he
came too late, and was the firſt that deſired
leave to return. It is.alſo ſaid 9 that when he ſaw
the Earl-Marihal ( his Son in Law ) and the
Earl of Re1ii his Nephew (viz his Daughters
Son) guarding him to his Execution , he told
r them, it had been much more fit, that they
ſhould have abſcentcd themſelves : For the time
will coms (aid he ) when as many ſhall wonder
at your misfortunes, as thty now do at mine.

Being thus put to death, his Body was f car-
ricd to the Fri:rs Auguſtines in LONDON, and
there buricd *3 and his Lands beſtowed ® on
thoſe, whom the King had then advanced to
higher Honors ( viz. the Earl Marſhal to be
Duke of J202foik 3 the Earl of Kent, to be
Duke of @Urrey., &c.))

A Teſtament * he made divers years before ,
when he little dreamed of this untimely death :
of which (itbeing memorable) I ſhall here take
ſome brick notice.

By this Teltament?, _— date 4 Marti:
Ann Dom 1382. (6 R. 2.) which is about four-
reen years before, he bequeathed his Body to be
buried in the Priory of LeWCS , bchind the

high Alrar : and ordained, that whereas the

Chantry of fix Prieſts, and -three Clerks, de-
ſigned by his Father in the Chappel of the Caſtle
at Arvnocll, was not perfected in his lifetime,
that his Fathers mind ſhould therein be fulfil-
led: and added hve more Secular Prieſts in the
ſtead of five Monks which had wont to be there;
as alſo two more, to make the whole nuniber
thirteen ; whereof three to be Deacons , three
Sub-Deacons, two Accolites, ſeven Choriſters,
and two Sacriſts, with three Ycomen and two
Grooms to attend them 3 thencetorth to be (ac-
eording, to the Will of his Father) a perpetual
Colledge of thirteen Prieſts, whereof one to be
the Maſter; and hve Clerks, in honor of the
bleſſed Trinity, to pray for the Souls of his Fa-
ther and Mother, his own Soul,” his. Wives Soul,
and all Chriſtian Souls.

To his Son Ricbard he thereby bequeathed
his Chappel with all the Furniture thereunto ,
of Cloath , and red Velvet , embroydred with
Angels and Archangels.

To his Son Thomw, an hundred pounds yearly
for his maintenance , untill the Lordſhips of
"3enenever,Sullyngton, and Sſhapewpk,
ſhould be ſetled on him. To bis Daughter
Charleton one little Tablet enameled and gilt.

unto her. Afffeer which, this Earl coming to
Cambaidge , there arreſted 4 JZozthumber-
Jand, and committed him to cuſtody. For which
pood ſervices he was made Conſtable * of Eng-

{and for the day and morrow after that Queens

- Coronation ; and likewiſe authoriſed * to make

Knights of the Bath , of all thoſe perſons
whom ſhe had eſpecially called for that purpoſe:
As all to Rnight. all ſuch other, - within two
days following, as ſhe ſhould nominate.

Moreover, he was ®gain made Conſtable 8 of
England, for the day immediately preceding
the Coronation of Queen Elizabeth: Likewiſe,
High Steward © of England for the fifteenth
of Fanunary , on ' which day ſhe was ſolemnly
Crowned 3 and ſoon after that, one i of her Privy
Council.

But in 3 Eliz. having * fed himſelf with ſome
hopes of obtaining Queen Elizabeth for his Wife,
ns. failing therein 3 after he had ſpent | much
upon theſe vain imaginations 3 his Friends in

Court failing ® him, he grew troubled ® in wind 5 |

and thereupon, to wear off the grief, got ® leave
to travel.

In 11 Eliz. being conſtituted P one of the |

Commiſſioners , to inquire of the murther of
Henry Lord Darley, Husbarid to Mary , Queen

of Scots, he thewed 9 not himſelf inclinable to

judge that Queen guilty thereof, as ſome did.

He was likewiſe a great favorer * of the Duke of
J2ozxfolks marriage with the ſame Queen (as.
ſome other of the Nobles then were) for which,

in 14 Eliz, he ſuffered f impriſonment.

After which I have not ſeen any thing of him
much memorable, until 22 Eliz. That by his
Teſtament *, bearing date 3o Decemb. in that
year, he bequeathed Fis Body to be buried in the
Quire of the Collegiate Church at Arundel ,
appointing that a memorial in Braſs and Gilt,
ſhould be there affixed upon his Fathers
Tomb. |

And having married ® two Wives 3 firſt Ca-
th:rine, the Daughtefof Thomas Grey, Marqueſs
Dorſ:t , by whom he had iſſue * Henry, who died
at Buuilſels in his life time 3 Joane married

He firſt mention I find of this name , #©
- Huge Grant, which IV alter Gifford,
| of Buckingham , in the Con-
_—_ time, made to the Monks of Cerafle in
201mnandp, where Richard Talbot is mentioned
* amongſt the witneſſes thereto.
The next is of Geffrey Talbot; who, in the
time of King Henry the Firſt , held ® twenty
Knights Fees of the King ( which Walter de
Meanana poſſeſſed in Henry the Seconds time)
and gave © the half of his Lordſhip of Little
(Utoteham, in Rent, to the Monks of Ro-
cheſter. This Geffrey, being baniſhed © by King,
Stephen, exerciſed much cruclty in his Military
aQtings, on the behalf of Maud the Empr:(G;
joyning © with Gilbert de Lacy, his Kinſman, in
his delign for taking the City of Bath : But
failing therein, and being thereupon taken * pri-
ſoner, he mollificd ® the King, by complaining
of very hard uſage, which had provoked him ſo
to flie out » and was thereupon reccived * to
favor.
Of this Geffrey I alſo find, thatin 3 Steph.
ſtill raking part with Mand the Empreſs, and
her Son Henry, then Duke of J202mandp, he
fortified * the Caſtle of Peref02D againſt King
Stephen.
I come now to Hugh Talbot (whom I take to
be Brother to Geffrey.,) To this Hwgh, in 19 H.1.
did Hugh, the Son of Gerard de Gornay, (then in
Rebellion * againſt that King ) commit | the
cuſtody of the Caſtle of ]ÞIcttic.
But all that I have farther (cen of him,is, That
having been a BenefaQor ® to the Monks cf
Beaubeck ( in Nozmandp ) at length he
took ® the habit of a Monk in that Monaltery.
Leaving iſſue ® three Sons, viz, Richard, William,
and Hugh. Which Richard, in An. 1153. (18
Steph.) ratified P his Fathers gifts to thoſe Monks.
And, about the beginning of Herry the Seconds
Reign, obtained from that King, a Grant 4 of the
Lordſhip of Lintone i» Com. Hersf. Which
Grant, King Rzchard the Firſt, for two handred

- Army, when he beſicged Woloigne 3 as alſo

herne in Com. Cornub. Knight, ( Widow Þ of
Robert, Earl of Sufſer) by whom he had no
<iſſue 3 he departed 4 this life 25 Febr. the ſame
year, being then ſixty eight years of age, and
was buried © at Arunoel with his Anceſtors ;
where he hath a noble*Monument 3 in the Epi-
tapth f whereon his principal imployments and
Honors are ſum*d up, viz. That he was one of
the Knights of the moſt Noble Order of the
Garter and of the Privy Council to King Hemry
the Eighth, King Edward the Sixth, Queen
Mary, and Queen Elizabeth; Governor of Ca-
lais , and Marſhal of King Herry the Eighths

Lord Chamberlain of his Houſhold : And at the

Coronation of King Edward the Sixth , exer-

ciſed the Office of Marſhal of England, bcin
afterwards made Lord Chamberlain of his Houf:

hold, Moreover, That he was High Conſtable of
England at the Coronation of Queen Mary

afterwards Steward of her Houſhold, and Pre-

lident of the Council ; and fo to Queen Eliza

marks afterwards confirmed *'.

To this Richard ſucceeded Gilbert Talbot, his
Son and Heir z who in 12 Hey. 2. held { one
Knights Fee in Lintone of Kobert de Emyas.
Which Gilbert in 5 Rich. 2. had other Lands gi-

| ven * him in Lintone, for the cuſtody of the
Caſtle of Ludlow; And inx Fob. gave® a Fine of

forty illings, that he might not go beyond Sea

ce might have the Scutage of his own
Demeſns. In 7 oh. this Gilbert paid * ten marks
for his Scutage, then aſſeſſed at two marks for
each Knights Fee : But farther of him I have

'| not ſeen, then that he had iſſue I Richard, who
married * Alia, the Daughter of Alan Baſſet of Maneiode

Baſſet, Juſtice of England, and Widow of Drs

Bureſtaneſtune, Ruvenoze, Hanty, and
Datine, in Com. Heref. But from Richard it
' 1s, that the Line was perſerved. Which Richard
being called 4 Richard de Pns, obtained © by the
gift of Ring Hexry the Firſt , the Cantrcf of
Bychan, and Caſtle of Lhanymdhyzy in
| CUales, Morcover, with the conſent f of Maxd

garet his Wite, and for the Soul of Roſamond his

in 2 Letter ſent to him under his Seal. More-

Of this Henry, Son and Heir to the laſt men-
tioned Thomas, before I come to his memorable
ations, it will not (I preſumc) be thought im-
pertinent, to give a brief account of the pre-
(ervation he had from his childchod, untill the
time ( by Gods providence ) he came quietly
to enjoy all his Lands and Honors.

There is nothing more certain, then that the
eager purſuit of worldly wealth and power, hath
often tranſported *multitudes of men to the moſt
bold and deſperate adventures imaginable 3 and
that thoſe ambitious aymes have not ſcldom
occaſioned bloody Warrs, with mercileſs flaugh-
ter, and dreadful ruine to many : whereof, though
examples in all Nations have been numerous, I
ſhall here only take notice of that in the Houſes

of Po2k, and Lancaſter » which continuing |

for ſome ages, produced much miſery and de-
lirucion to divers great and noble families 3
whercin this of Clifford ſhared deeply 3 Fobn the
Grandfather of this our Henry having been ſlain
in the Battle of St. glbans, and 7homas his
Father in that of T0outon (as is already obſer-
ved ) as ſtout aſſertors of the Lancaſtrian inter-
eſt : So that it cannot be doubted, but that the

Houſe of Bok at length potently prevailing ,
d cauſe enough tobe jealous of thoſe whoſe

thoſe who then ſo boldly claimed the Charter of
Liberties. And the ſame year had a Grant © of . <1, ,
all the 'Lands of Richard de Lucy of Egre- I =6.
miind; ſo alſo 4 of all the Lands of Robert de « ve ,
Vaxx, lying, in the Counties of Cumberland,
Noolk, Suffolk, Somerſet. and Do!-
ſet (forfeited, as it ſrems, for thcir reſpcaive
Rebellions) as alſo then conſtituted © Governor
of Carlifle. At that time likewiſe, he received
the Kings Precept f , requiring him not to de-
moliſh the, Caſtle of RichmonD, but to dcliver
E it toRoald Fitz-Alan,

About this time King Fobn diſcerning ſo many
of the Barons in Arms againſt him, made *®this
Robert, with Brian de PIſle, and Geffrey de Lucy
his Lieutenants, for the cuſtody of all the Caſtles,
and whatſoever elſe belonged to the Ring, within
the County of Potk.

In 1 Hen. 3. he was conſtituted * Sheriff of :za,,q,
Cumberland, and. Governor of the Caſtle act >>
Carlifle 2 And, having a Grant * of all the ;5cu
Lands of Exſtace de Veſci, was commanded | by Fr m.16,
the King to let Philip de Vlecote enjoy the one
half of them.

In this year he affiſted ® (with divers of the
Loyal Peers ) at the Siege of Yontl(o2cll
Caſilc in Leiceſterſhire 3 as alſo at® railing the
Sicge of Lincoln, which the Rebellious Barons
had then made, on the behalf of Lewes of
France, who was then in their Army.

In 2 Hen. 3. he was again ® made Sheriff of
Cumberlano ; but having ? been ſo much
practiſed -in Rapine, whilſt the Civil Wars en- Gakar
dured 3 now that all was quiet, he could not ras. |
1 refrain from the like, though the King ſtraitly
commanded otherwiſe 3 for he was one of thoſe
who detained * ſome of the Caſiles and Lands of
the Biſhops, and other great Men.

In 6 Hen. 3. he was! once more made Sheriff /pa.c 1,
of Cumbertand, and Governor of Caritfle, *'©+
But in 8 Hen. 3. joyned * with the Earls of Ma. 2vi;,
Cheſter and Albemarle, who then endeavored Pf ''+
to raiſe new diſturbances in the Kingdom (as in
the lives of thoſe Earls, I have more at large
lhewed.)

But after this, viz. in 10 Hen.z. he was * once «cuſi:f,
of the Kings Juſtices Itinerant in the County of }. dais
Pork, Andin11 Her.z. one of the Juſtices of
the Court of Common Plex, as by Fines * then «£18 See.
levied before him, and others appeareth. Wy oe

Touching his Works of Piety I find, that he "5.
was a BenetaQor to the Knights Templers, by
the Grant Y of certain 'Lands in Koel, unto
them : And that he confirmed * to the Canons
of Yep, all thoſe Lands which had been given
to them by Thomas Fitz-Goſpatrick their Founder 3
as alſo® the Town of Renegill, which Mad,
his own Mother, and J1vs his Brother had for-
merly beſtowed on them 3 and likewiſe Þ Mtl-
burne-Grange which he acquired of Nicholas ae
Stutevl, |

OF ENGLAND.

About which time it was certified ©, that there

belonged fix Knights Fees and an halt to this his
Honor of Dutflep. .

Where or how the Male-line of this Noble
Family ceaſed, I ſhall not trouble my ſelf with
the inquiry, in regard the Barony was gone be-
fore 3 for Robert Fitz- Harding (a powerful Man
in his time) obtaining ®* a Grant of the Caſtle and
Honor of Berkiey , from Herry, Duke of
J202mandy, Son of M24 the Empreſs, poſſe(s-
cd himſelf thereof : Whereupon his Deſcendants
aſſumed that firname z which,together with that
Caltle and Barony, continueth to them in the
very Malc-line to this day. Being therefore (ac-
cording to my method) to ſpeak next of this
Kobert , I may not omit to take notice , That
Harding, his Father is, by ſome ſaid i to have
becn the youngeſt Son to one of the Kings of
Denmark; and by * others, Ex Regia proſapia
Regum Danie ortms, Deſcended from the Royal Line
of thoſe Kings ( which little differs in point of
honor and dignity :) And that, accompanying
| Duke William of J20:manop, in that ſignal
expcdition which he made into Englanv, he
was ® in that memorable Battle, with him, againſt
King Harold, wherein being victor, he thence-
forth became King of this Realm.

But all I have farther ſcen of this Harding, is,
That after that Conqueſt, he ® held CUlten-
ho2t (now called ({Uiherenhurſt) i Com. Gloc.
of Earl Bricirick, in mortgage 3 and that he died
© 6 Nov. 16 Hen. 1. Ircturn therefore to Kobert,
commonly called Robert Fitz-Harding.

This Kobert, firmly adhering P to Mand the
Empreſs, and her Son Herry, Duke of J20:-
mandy, had (in remuneration of his hdelity,
and ſervices done untothem, in their great con-
telts with King Stephen, ) from the ſaid Duke
(afterwards King, by the name of Henry the Se-
cond ) firſt, a Grant 4 of the Mannor of Bet-
thone, and a hundred pound Lands in Berk-
leys and after that, the whole Lordſhip * of
Berkley, and all that territory thereabouts,
called Berkliev-YDernefle, thereunto belong-
ing: Of which Lordſhip and Territory, Roger de
Berkley, owner of DUrſlep, who held * it of
the Crown in Fee=Farm, was then deveſted, in
regard * that he took part with King Stephen :
So likewiſe * of Durfley, by reaſon * of his
refuſal to pay the Fee-Farm of Berkley, above
expreſſed. But, through ? the Mediation of di-
vers Lords of this Realm, Roger obtaining
* Durlley again, ceaſed not to vex ® this Robert
Fitz-Harding tor Berkley, ſo taken from him
as hath been obſerved. Whereupon complaint
being made to Duke Herry, he wrought this fol-

Roger ſhould give Alice his Daughter in marriage
to Maurice , the Son of this Robert Fitz- Harding,

—— land and fifteen * marks for the Scutage of |

together with the Town of inqanas 1, 4 as a
Portion, Which accord ©, being made at Biſtoal,
in the Houſe of him the (aid Robert Fitz- Harding,
12 the preſence of King Stephen, and Duke Henry,
t was then farther covenanted, That ſhe the (aid
Alice ſhould. have twenty pound Land of the
Fee of Verklep for her Dowry. And in caſe
the ſaid Maurice ſhould die before the accompliſh-

-* ment of that Agreement, the like performance

ſhould hold for the next Son of the ſame Robere
Fitz-Harding : $9 likewiſe, in caſe Alice ſhould

|

|

|

-| thoſe Grants which his Father had made unto

| depart this life, thelike Covenants to be obſerved

tor her next Siſter.

Morever, it was then farther concluded 9, 41bd, 1
That the cldeſt Son of that Roger ſhould take
to Wife one of the Daughters of the ſaid Robert
Fitz-Harding , and receiving ten pound ten ſhil-
lings Land in Qurflep, by way of Portion, to
make her a Dowry of the Mannor of Siſton
ncar Byiſtoll.

Other Sons this Harding, before-ſpecihed ,
had, viz. © Nichols, who in 12 Hen,2. rcliding « ' Bs Autogt.
in Somerſetſhire , held there two Knights 75 \2 <2fro 46
Fees, and an half of the King ; Elix, Fordan,
and Mavrice ;, as alſo * three Daughters, Agnes,
the Wife of Hugh de Haſelee, Maud, and Cice-
ly. |

But Iprocecd with Robert.

(by the death of King Stephen) arrived to the
Crown of this Realm, obtained a Confirmation i
* of his former Grant for Berkley and *5erk- 2X Berkley.

by the ſervice of hve Knights Fees. And in the

of the Aid , for marrying of Mard the Kings
Daughter, to Henry the Emperor, certified * the | xiv, nub.is
Knights Fees he then held, to be in number hve 3 _ Fab ti

belonging to the Honor of Berkley, for which

By Eva his Wife (Foundreſs * of a Religious
Houſe called the Magdalens, near Byiſtoll, and
at length Prioreſs there) he had ifſue * four Sons,
Henry, Manrice, Robert, and Nichols. Which Ro-
bert (the third Son) commonly called ® Robert
de Were, in regard he was Lord of that Mannor
(lying near Arv219age) in Com. Somerſ. had ® a!-
ſo divers other Lordſhips in that County: And
in 4 Rich.1. gave® ſixty marks for Livery of the ,c or. vip,
Inheritance of Alice Paynell, the firſt Wife of Ro- ed 4B

married P, he had iſſue 4 by her a Son, called Mau- *,

of che ſkid le, Mannors, &c. unto Wiliam qd:

them to the {aid Thomas, the Grand-father, to
hold for life 3 with thg Remainder to Manrice his

| Son, and the Heirs-male of his Body and for

default of ſuch iffnve, to the Heirs-male of the
ſaid Tbowas, by Catherine then his Wife 3 and
4or want of ſuch iſſue, to the right Heirs of him
the ſaid Thomss, And, that he the faid Thopas,
the Grand-father, took ro Wife Elizabeth, by
whom he had iſſue Thomas de Berkley, his Son
and Heir, and Fames a younger Son ; Which
Fames took to Wife Elrzabeth, and had ifſuc
Fames, then living. And, that afterwards the
{aid Marwrice died Ciſed of that Caſtile, and other
the premiſſes, 'wherenpoen they deſcended to him
cheſaid Thomas, the Son of Maurice, as Son and
Heir-male 3 who dying feiſed of them, lcav-
ing no Iue-male of his Body begotten, they
oughtto deſcend to James de Berkley, then living,
as Cofin and next Heir-male to Thomas, the Son

Heir-male to Thomas, (as above is expreſſed) be-
ing then of full age, had Livery of the Premiſles,
&c. his homage being reſpitcd.

By what, therefore, hath been alrcady obſcr-
ved, it is apparent, that to Elizabeth , theonly
Daughter of the ſaid Thomas the Fourth, all the
Lands which came by her Mother ; as alſo all
thoſe, whereof her Father died ſciſed in Fee-
funple,- or : Fee-tail General (which were about

thirty Lordſhips, in the Countics of Hloceſter,

Somerſet, Bucks, (ilts, Nozthamp-

beſides Ad vowſons of Churches, &c.) deſcended.
As alfo, that the ſaid Fames, his Colin and nc
Heir-male, was, by vertuc of the before ſpeci
Entail, to enjoy the Caſile and Barony, with al
thoſe other Lordſhips contained in the ſaid
Fine. |

But before I come to ſpeak of this Famer, I
think it expedient to take ſome notice of James

- his Father, who {o dicd in the life time of his

elder Brother 3 in regard, that by him, thc Male-
line of this Noble and Antient Family, became
thus preſerved.

This James (the Father) was*a Knight, and
married * El:zabetb (ſometimes written Iſabel )
the Daughter and Heir of + Sir 7ob1 Bloet Knight,
and of the Lady Catherine Wogan his Wife, by
whom he had * the Mannors of Raglan, Tat-

others 3 -as alſo the Manyor of Daglingwozth

To this 'Sir Femes and Elizabeth, King Henry

the :Fourth, in the firft year of His Reign, con-

firmed 7 the-Town and Caftle of Raglan

Son, who died © without iſſue. |

J Which James, then © aged twenty three
years and upwards, had * likewiſe-from his Fa-
ther and Mother, divers other Lordſhips and,
Lands, than what deſcended to him by the En-
tail beforcmentioned , vis. The Mannors of
Ragland, Talgarth , Toze, Ediſhall,'
Stradway, with ſome other in (Uales 3 and
Dalingwozth i Com. Gloc. — As alſo, by other
means, the Mannors of Sages,Little Parſh-
field, and Arlingham, in that County.

But the Earl of CUarwick, and his Wife,
being © at CUotton, or erkley Caſtle, at
the time of the death of Thomas the fourth, and
having thereby advantage to take away what of
the Evidences they pleaſed , poſſeſſed ® them-
ſelves of Berklep Caſtle 3 and all other the
Lands and Lordſhips fo Intailed on the Heir-
male, as hath been obſerved. And having ſo
done, procured a Grant i from the King of the
ciſtody of all thoſe Lands, as.Jong as they ſhould
remain in the Crown 53 under ſuch a value, as
they ſhould be ratcd at in the Offices to be there-
upon found. And not only fo, but, the next en-
ſuing year, obtained as abſolute diſcharge * of that
Rent. Whcreupon he kept | Courts, in the
name of himſelf and his Wife, without any re-
ſpe& at all had to the Kings Grant 3 ſhe pre-
tending a clear right to them all, as alſo to the
Barony.

And notwithſtanding that, this James, upon
a Writ of Diem claufit extremum, byhim ſued
out (after much oppokition by the Earl of CUar-
wick) was found ® Heir, and Rightful Inhe-
ritor to the Caſtle of Berkley, and all thoſe
twelve Lordſhips mentioned in that Fine of the
Thrce and twentieth of Edward the third, and
had Livery accordingly Awarded : Yct did ® that
Earl, and his Wife, retain the ſaid Caſtle, Lord-
ſhip, and Mannors, ? until, upon a Remonſtrance
of his Right, King Henry the Fifth, commanded
poſſciſion to be given unto him.

But, after the geath of that King, the Earl of
CMarwick entred ? again upon the Mannor of
Clotton, and other Lordſhips, and laid 4 fiege
co the Caſtle of Berkley 3 in which ſiege many
were hurt and ſlain. Whercupon, by mediation
of Friends, there being a R——_ ” to Philip
Morgan, then Biſhop of (UO2Ceſter , and Sit
fobn Jxeyn, afterward Lord Cheif Juſtice of the

Court of Kings Bench; they Awarded C, that the |

faid Earl, ſhould, during his natural life, retain
the Mannors of TCotton, Cowlep, and &1-
mondſhale ; and that the reſi compriſed in the
before ſpecified Fine, ſhould be to the ſaid Fames,
and the Heirs-male of his Body.

But, notwithſtanding all this, through the po-
tency of that, Earl, this James, could not, ac-
cording to the courſe of Law, obtain Livery of
thoſe Lands out of the Kings hands.

Nor could it be any wonder, conſidering how
powerful a Man the Earlof CCarwick was in

' thoſe days, and that many of the Seryants to the

RT

Iate Lord Thomas, were fo obſequious to him,
excrciling all their ski!l to give him countenance

and Lordſhip of Berkley, made by Kober: Firz.
Harding, which he then read 3 and, that his
Lord ſnatched it from him, ſaying, He knew the
Contents thereof : And another (about the ſame)
viz, John Bone, ;Vicar of Berkiep, and one of
the Executors of the ſame Lord Thomsx, made
Oath * before the Major of J521ftoll : that the
ſaid Lord Thomas, about the time of his paſſage
into Byitanny, to conduct the' Queen into
England, Enfeoffed him and others, of the
Caſtle, Lordſhip, and Hundred of Berkley,
and all his Lands in Gloceſterſhire 3 as alſo of
the Hundred of Portburp, the third part of
the Mannor of ]Bozteſheven, the Mannors of
CUalton, and Bedminſter, with che Hun-
dreds of Bepminfter. and Darcitve, to hold
in Fee without any condition 3 likewiſe, that
Livery and Scilin was executed thereupon, and
Courts held by thoſe Feoffees according]y.

By means of which Afidavits, the Earl of
CUarwick took ſuch encouragement and con-
hdence 3 that; in 6 Hen. 5, he procured a Con-
firmation * of thoſe antient Charters made by
King Fohn, touching the Mannor and Barony of

Philip Morgan, then Biſhop of TUlo2cefter (be-

two ycars of age, having ſued out his Livery
upon the fourteenth of Fxly before z and his

which the Lord Berkley returned this anſwer in
Writing 3 viz. * that be would not bring the tenth
man he could make, and bid him to meet on the
morrow at J?pbley-H2een, by eight or nine of
the Clock, which ſtandeth (faith he) on the Bor-
ders of the Livelode that thou keepeſt untruly from
me." Whereupon they accordingly met, and the

After which (the very (ame day) the Lord
Berkley advanced to CUlotton, and rifling * the
Houſe, took thence i many Writings and Evi-
dences of the ſaid Viſcounts own Lands, with
a ſute of Arras Hangings, wherein his Armes
and tne Armes of the Lady Foane his Mother
(Daughter and Coheir to- Thomas Chedder) were
wrought 3 and brought them to Berkley Caſtle.
To this Skirmiſh, came * divers from Batſtoll,
Thoznbury, the Foreſt of Deane, and other
places, to the number of about a thouſand 3
Which exceeded what the Viſcount brought.

Widdow of the Viſcount Liſle br

againſt Maurice, and Thomas his two Brethren ,
for thus killing her Husband, with an Arrow
through his Head ;, and a Dagger in his, left
Side, as ſhealleadged. Whereupon, in the Par-

it was enacted ®, that for the appealing of
theſe variances, &c. thus moved, and of long
time continued, the ſaid Lord Berkley ſhould

as had bcen granted to him: In which year he
was * in that expedition then made into ®C0ot-
land. |

In 16 Fdw. 3. (continuing Steward * of the

Kings Houſhold) he was ſent ® into Bittany
together with the Earl of J202thampton, and
other Engliſh Nobles 3 where, having beſieged © a
certain Town and Caſtle 3 taking notice of the
French coming, towards them, with a great Army,
they retreated ; and entrenching themſelyes
near unto a Wood, made © divers deep Ditches for
their better defence ; By which means the Enc-
mies Horſe aſfailing them, were utterly rout-
ed f,

In 18 Edw, 3. being (called ® Foby d' Arct Ie
Piere, and) made Conſtable of J2ottingham
Caſtle for life, he obtained a Charter i for Free-
Warren in his Lordſhips of Temple-=J2ewſome,
and Temple-[)prſt, in Com. Ebor. Tozkſey in
Com. Linc. Ekington in Com. Derb. and Rirk-
by in Aſhfield, in Com. Note. Andint®y 9 Edv.
3. another Charter for two Markets every week
at T 02k(ep, viz. One on the Monday, and the
other on the Wedneſday , with a Fair yearly to
begin on the Eve of the Tranſlation of S. Thomas,
the Martyr, and to continue for that day, and
ſix days following 5 in which ycar he was ! in
that expedition made mto France. So likewiſe
= mn 20 Edw.3. at which time the famous Battle
of Creſfp was fought.

In this year alſo, being Conſtable ® of the
Tower of London for lite ; he had, in conſide-
ration ® of his laudable ſervices, for many years 3
as alfo for a thouſand marks in Money, then given
co the King, a Grant? of the Marriage of Famer,
the and Heir to James le Botiller, Tn
21 Edw.3. he was 4 again in France, and had
Summons * to Parliament from 28 Edw, 1. unt
the 16 Edw. 3. inclufive. -

This Fon had two Wives; firſt Emeline, the
Daughter f and Heir to Walter Heron ; and
afterwards Foane, Daughter * to Richard Burgh,
Earl of C{liſtcrr , Widow ® of Thomas, Earl of
iildare, (whom he married 3 Fuly, Av. 1329.
(3 Ed.3.) at Baynoth in Jreland. By which
hrit Wite he had iſſne*® Fobn, Eleanor, and Roger 3
and by the ſecond, William, born Yin Jreland,
in 41. 1330. (4 Edw.3.)

, He departcd * this lite upon the thirticth of
May, 21 Edw. 3. leaving Sir Fobn & Arcy Knight,
his Son ® and Heir, at that time thirty years of
age, Soon after whych, in conſideration Þ of the
many good ſervices performed by this deceaſed
fokn d' Arcy in his life time z and for ©the good
teryices of the before-ſpecified William his Son,

declare.

the King granted 4 to the (aid William , the
Caſtle of Barkynegan in Jreland, co hold
for life.

I now come to John d' Arcy, Son and Heir to
this laſt mentioned Joby.

This Jobn, in 9 Edw.3. called Johannes d Arci
Chis Father then living) was © in the Wars
of Scotland ; and, having for his cſpecial
ſervices, deſerved very well from the King, in
15 Edw. 3. obtained a Grant * of an Annuity of

forty pornd per annum, to himſelf and his heirs

for ever (which is enjoyed at this day.)

"© In 16 Edw.z, heobtained Licenſe®, that Alice,
to #

the Widow of Nicholas Menill, might marry
whom ſhe pleaſed, being the Kings loyal Subj.
In which year he was * in that expedition then
made into France.

| In 20 Edw.3. having had * thecuſtody of the ;
Kings Liberty of, ÞvlDerneſs z . Com. Ebur, |
As alſo * of the Mannor of Bzuſtwpke, with =

its Members 3 and the Mannor of "BAareweck in
Com. Linc. likewiſe granted. to him 3 he was,
in conſideration | of his many ſervices, done and
to be done, diſcharged ® from rendring accompe
to the King for them, or any of them : In which
year Ring Edward, landing with a great Army at
1ogges, in Nonnandy, made him a Banneret,
and gave him two hundred pounds per annum
out» of the Exchequer, during life, for his better
ſupport of that Honor, as by his Patent ® there,
dated 1 # Faly, appeareth. So that, it is not to be
doubted, but that, being there at that time, he
was one of thofe,. who in-Angyft following, be-
haved themſelves ſo bravely, in that memarablc
Battle of Creſſev, where the EvgiiÞ obtained
ſuch laſting fame, as our Hiſtorians do amply

. And in 21 Edw. 3. found ſuch favor * from
the King, that upon P doing his homage z being
then of full age, he had Livery 4 of his Lands,
before the Inquifitions taken after his Fathers
death, were, according to cuſtom, returned into
the Chancery. |

In which year, he was conſtituted ” one of the
Commiſſioners to treat and conclude. of Peace
betwixt King Edward, and the King of France
and likewiſe conſtituted Conſtable of the Tower
of London, for life.

About this time he gave * the Adyowſon of
the Church of Bnayth, to the Nuns of ÞCe-
venings. Soon after which, b&ng again im-
ployed by the King in his Wars with France,
he had * one hundyed and twenty great Horſes
ſent over to him at, Calais.

This Foby had Summons * to Parliament ,
amongſt the Barons of this Realm from 22 until
28 Edw.3. But after that time, I have not ſeen
any thing more of him, till his death; which
hapned 7 at I20on
the Feaſt of S. Chad, 30 Ep. 3. He bcing then

elſe he thought fit, for the adminiſtration of

Another Inquiſition *, taken in 14 Ric. 2.
faith, that Thomas Baſſet a Prieſt , Brother of

ſcended from Richard Baſſet and Mand

Ridel, (who, for ſo Jong as they con-

tinued, had ſuccaſhvely the Chriſtian name of |
Ralph) there is, nothing very memorable until |
King Hezry the thirds tine, that Ralph Baſſe ,
in 42 Hey. 3. had ſummons * ( amongſt other
great men ) to, attend/the King at Cheſter ,
well furniſhed with Horſe and Armes, to oppoſe
the incurſions of the Welch. P
But, in 48 Hep. 3. this Ralph, adhering ® to
Simon Montfort Earl of Leiceſter , and other
the rebellious Barons then in Armes 3 they {©

i =: the Baſſets of Dyapton, de- |

. | (after by that cheir ſucceſs at Lewes, they had

got the King into their power) he was content
to be their Governor © of the Caſtles of Dalop,
and B2UReS 3 and continued fo firm to their
truſt, that before che end of that year, when
the Royal Army, which Prince Edward ( atter
his eſcape by the affiſtance of divers gallant
men) had raiſed, encountered them at Evc-
ſham z he there tighting ſtoutly on the part of
of that deſperate Crew, was 4 (with many morc)
flain.

It is aid © that when Montfort diſcerned the
ſtrength and Order of Prince Edwards Army,
with ſo many of the loyal Pecrage, then drawn
up apainſt him 3 he concluded, that he ſhould
miſcary in that battlez and therefore adviſed
this 'Ralph Baſſet, and Hugb de Spenſer, to get
away, and reſerve themſelves for better-times 3
but they anſwered, If be periſhed they ſhould not
deſire to live.

Howbeit though he died thus in Armes againſt
his Soveraign, Margaret his Wife found no ſmall
favor for the King, ſoon after, tendering her
condition, aſſigned * the Lordſhip of JPatpng- /
ham in Statto2Dlhire, and all other the Lands #
of her Husband, lying in CClatton in Leicc- ;
ſterſhire, and Erton in Rutland , for her
ſupport, during pleaſure 3 and at the ſpecial in-
ſtance © of Prince Edward; as alſo for * the
laudable ſervices of Roger de Someri ( Baron of
OuDdlep) her Father, confirmed i them to her
for term of her life.

Which Margaret was firſt * the Wife of Urian
St. Perez and ſome time after the death of this
Ralph Baſſet, paſſed ? her title in thoſe lands to
Ralph her Son; and then took ® the habit of
Religion.

A] In 22 Edw. 1. this laſt mentioned Ralph
had Summons ® to be at JIortſmouth, upon

10 Edw. 2. went © again into SCotTand, upon
the Kings ſervice, bcing then of the retinue of
Fobn de Warren Earl of Surrey. In 11Ek. 2.
he was conſtituted f Governor of Staffg20-
Caſtle. And in 13 Edw. 2. was &® again 1n
Scotland, in that expedition then made thi-
ther. Moreover, in 14 Edw. 2. he was made
Conſtable * of 1202thampton- Caitle, And in
15 Edw. 2. joyned in commiſſion i, with John

having, for his great and faithful ſervices , the
Lordffip of 1Buckby, in Nozrhamptonthire
(which did belong to Thomas Earl of Lancaſter)
beſtowed ® on him.

But being thus in Aquttane , he was put
n tono little ſtraight in the buſineſs of his Go-

obtained a parcel of Land in that Countrey, by

exchange ; on which, for its pleaſant fituatton, +

he had built a Fort, and about it a Town of
very goodly houſes z the Inhabitants of that
Town grew © inſolent, that they did not on-
ly contemn the Laws and Conſtitutions of that
Countrey 3 but ſcornfully deſpiſed this Ralph ,
who then was the King of England's Gover-
nor there. Which ſo exaſperated him, that he
raiſed a power, pulled down all the Houſes, and
ſlew thoſe who refuſed to ſubmit. The King
of France therefore, hearing what he had done,
ſent ſummons to him to appear at his Court 3
but he obeycd it not; ſaying he had done -no
more then his duty. Whereupon that King, in
great wrath, cauſed an EdiQ for his Baniſhment
to Se publiſhed : But ſo ſoon as he heard thereof,
he betook himſelf to the Caſtle of Bonpelade,
which was well fortifhicd,” where he was out of
all danger: The King therefore, by his Meſſen-

and procceded againſt, according to the uſage
of that Realm But fo ſoon as the King of
England heard thereof, he would * not endure,
that for ſo juſt an aR, ſo brave a Souldier ſhould
have any moleſtation.

of the whole Kingdome was in danger and |
that they therefore deſigned the removal of that
Duke and his complices from the King, by pow-
&r 3 he ſent for the Lord Mayor of London,
to try whether the Citizens would ſtick to him
againſt his Uncle and thoſe of that party 3 but
was anſwered that the Citizens would not fight
againſt them that were friends to him and the
Kingdom. And, that this Lord Baſſet, ſtanding
by, then told the King, that his lite and eſtate
had been ever ready at his ſtrvice, in the ways
of truth and righteouſneſs 3 as alſo, that it he
ſhould now be drawn into the Field,. they ſhonld
be ſo ftillz but added, that he would not adven-
ture @ broken head for the Duke of Jreland.
Having thus given as large an account of
this active pcrion, as I canz I now come to
his laſt Teſtament ® bearing date on Sunday
next after the Feaſt of St. Hillary Anno. 1389.
13 Kic. 2. whereby be likewiſe bequeathed his
body to be buried in the Cathedral Church. of
Litchfield, near the Altar of St. Nicholas. By
this Teſtament he gave two hundred pounds
over and above certain Tenements in LitCh-
field, and TUalſhall , unto the Priory of
Canwell, for the augmenting that Covent ,
with five more Monks 3 and to find one Prieſt
perpetually to pray for his Soul, and the Souls
of his Anceſtors, at the ſame Altar of St.Nicholas
and keeping his Obit with certain Lights as
alſo to make a Wall towards the water , and
a new Belfrey. And ordained the foundation
of four more Chanteries, where Prayers ſhould
be ſaid for his Soul for everz viz. at Beth-
iem without Biſhoptgate two: In the Chap-
pel of our Lady, ſituate in the Church-Yard at
Dinep ( in Com. Buck, ) one: and in the new
Chappel, built by himſelf, at Colfton-Baſſer
( in Com. Notting.) one more; for effecting of
all which he gave. two hundred pounds.
Moreover he ordained, that the perſon
whomſoever it ſhould be, that ſhould firſt, bear
his Sirname and Armes, according tothe appoiht-
ment of his laſt Will; ſhould have the uſe of
his great Velvet Bed, during his life z but not
to be alienated from him, who ſhould bear his
Name and' Armes. And to the ſatne perſon,
he alſo bequeathed four Silver Baſons, with
two Ewers, whereon his Armes were graven
ſix filver Diſhes, two filver Pots, and four
Chargers, all marked with' his Armes 3 as alſo
a Cup with Cover gilt, having one Ring on the
lide thereof 3 conſtituting Walter Skyrlaw Biſhop
of Durham, Kichard Scrope Biſhop of Cheſter,
ard Sir Richard Scrope Knight, his Executors:
And upon the tenth of May next following,
departing * this life, was accordingly buried in
the Cathedral of Litchfield, where a goodly
Monument in the Iſle, on the South fide of the
Quire, was erected to his memory , __
the, late unparallePd rebellious times, when that
ſtately Fabrick was laid waſt (through the Rapine
of thoſe then great pretenders to Religion and
Reformation) cameto utter ruine.
Upon whoſe death Thomas Earl Stafford was
found Y to be his Couſin and next Heirs viz.
Son of Hwgh, Son of Ralph, Son of Margaret ,
Siſter of Kalph, Father of Ralph, Father of this
laſt deceaſed Ralph. |

But by another * Inquiſition it was found ,

that the ſame Thomas Earl Stafford, agd Mice
the Wife of Sir Wallizm Chaworth Knight , were

his Couſins and next Heirs 3 viz. the ſaid Tho- i
mas, Son of Hwgh, &+. as aboveſaid : And the
ſaid Alice, Daughter of Catherine, Daughter of

Which occaſioned ® great controverlic after-
wards, betwixt Humphrey Earl Stafford, and Sir
Thomas Chaworth XKnight, for the LorFſhip of
Colſton-Baſſer, in Com. Nottine.

What conclution was made thercin, 1 know
not : but certain I am 3 that, for ſettling a great
part of the Lord Baſſets Lands, there were ® di-
virs Fincs levied in King Edward the thirds time,
betwixt Ralph Lord Baſſer,Grandfather to this laſt
Ralph ; and this laſt Ralph, and Joane the Daugh-

for want of ſuch iſſue, to Ralph de Srafford for
lite, with divers other remainders of the linc of
Stafford : and for lack of iſſue of thoſe remain-
ders, to Thomas Beanchamp , Son to Thongs late
Earl of CUlarwick, and the Heirs male of his
body, &c:

Which Ralph Baſſee (the Grandfather ) had
© iſſue Ralph, and he the laſt mentioned Kalph. cc __
Which Ralph; viz. the Son of Ralph and Foane, _w_

Likewiſe the ſaid Ralph Stafford, and thoſe

ſion of them both , their honors, wealth, and

inſolencies and oppreſſions had julily raiſed _

fended ® againſt the Queens Soldiers till Eafter 3
and then, upon terms of capitulation , for his
ſafety, as to life and limbs, rendred it unto them,
and got again to the King. After which, it
was not long, ere they were both of them diſ-
covered and taken *, viz. 16 Cal. Decemb, (be-
ing the day of S. Edmund the Archbiſhop) Near
the Caſtle of Lantruſſan 3 whence being

upon his Veſtment, fix Verſes of that Pſalm be-
ginning thus, Ouid gloriarir in malitia ? was

written 3 and that being brought *® before William |

Trufſel, Speaker of the Houſe of Commons in
Parliament, he was charged ® upon his arraign-
ment 3 that in the Parliament held at TUeſts
mtnſter, in the fifteenth year of that King, his
Father and he being —_— Traytors and
Enemics to the Realm, were baniſhed 3 and ne-
verthelcſs, that he returned into the Realm, and
plundred two Dromonds, to the valueof forty
thouſand pounds. Moreover, that he had ſtirred
up the King to raiſe Arms againſt the Nobles of
the Realm 3 and i by theaid of Andrew Harkley,
and other Traytors , had cauſed * the good Earl
of ſDerefo2d to be murthered 3 as alſo Thomas,

be condemned, and murthered at JJontfract
Calile; and divers of the Nobles and others,
to be put to ſhameful deaths, viz, Sir I arine de
PIfte, Sir William Toucher, ec.

It is farther ſaid | of him, That favoring the
King of Scots, he was the occaſion that the Eng-
lih were defegted at Strivelin 3 likewiſe ®,
that he had ſct difference betwixt the King and
Queen, whercupon ſhe fle@ into France, to

P to William, Earl of Denault, &c. © Moreover,
that to this charge, he could 4 give no anſwer.
Whereupon he had Judgment * given againſt

Frumps and Trumpets, throughout all the City
of Herefo2Dd 3 and then tobe brought intothe
Market-place, where all the people were afſem-

cvery man might ſee him 3 and in the ſame place
a great fire to be made , and there his Privy-

members to be cut from him, becauſe they repu-

"ted him as an Heretick, and ſo to be Eurnt befor

his face; then his heart to be taken out of his
body. and caſt into the fire, becauſe he was a falſe
Traytor of Heart 3 and that by his Trayterous
Council and Extortion, the King had diſhonox.
ed His Realm, and brought it to great miſcheif,
for he had cauſed to be beheaded the greateſt
Lords of his Realm; and ſo induced the King,that
he would not ſcethe Queen his Wife, nor Edward
his eldeſt Son 3 and cauſed them to quit the
Realm for fear of their lives z and then his head
to be ſtricken off and ſent to London, Ac-

In 13 Edw.3. being togo to Sca in the Kings

This Hugh was ſummoned 4 to Parliament,

of his Anniverſary, they had Y twenty marks,
and thirty marks more for a pittance. And that,

Which Elizabeth, by her Teſtament ® bearing
date 4 Fulii, An. 1409. (10 Hen. 4.) wherein
ſhe ſtiles her ſelf Elizabeth de Burgherſh, Dane le
Deſpenſer, bequeathed her Body to be buried in

Grand-daughtet) Daughter to the before ſpeci-
hed Margaret , two other Chargeons , twelve
Dithes, and fix Sawcers of Silver. Which: Teſta-
ment was proved upon the tenth of Augrit, then
next enſuing.

But I return to Thomas whoſe Wardſhip was,
in't Rich, 2, granted ® to Edmund, Earl of Cam-

marry his Daughter. |

This Thomas (commonly called ? Thomas Lord
Defpenſer of Hlamozgan and Mo2gansk )
was 4 in that expedition of Jreland, in 15
Rich.2. But in 20 Rich, 2. with * divers other
great Lords ( viz. Edward, Earl of IKUtland,
Thomas Moubray, Earl of J2ottingham, &c.)
he was arreſted f at J2ottingham , by the
Kings command, and charged * with High Trea-
ſon, certain perſons being ſuborned ®, who were
to proſecute them, in the enſuing Parliament.
Howbeit, the next year following, the Scene was
changed 3 for this Thomas (among others, then
advanced. * to great titles of Honor ) was crea-
ted Y Earl of Oloceſter, by rcaſon of his de-
(cent from Gilbert de Clare, ſometime Earl of
Gloceſter, viz. 2 Son of Edward, Son of Ed-
ward, Son of Hugh, who in 15 Edw./2. wasad-
judged to be diſheritcd and baniſhed the Realm for

the ſaid Gilbert z and exhibiting his Petition *1n
the ſame Parliament, for revocation of the Judg-

Hugh le Deſpenſer, had it granted Þ.
In which Petition it appears ©, that the faid
Hugh was then poſſeſſed of no leſs then' ity

Muttons in his Larderz ten Tuns of Cider 3 Ar-

then ten thouſand pounds 3, thirty ſix Sacksof
Wooll, and a Library of Books.

This Earl took to Wife 4 Conſtance, the Daugh<
ter of Edmund of Langley, Duke of Pozk ;
and upon his Creation of Earl, obtained a Grant
' *©from the King, to himſelf and her, and to the
Heirs-wale of his own Body, of the Caſtle and
Mannor of Elmley, the Mannors of CULiCk-
wane, Grafton-F!/e»th, Albodely, Seint-
iey, Magna Cumberton, and Elmley. Lover
(then in the Crown, by reaſon of a Judgment in

Parliament againſt Thomas de B-auchamp, Earl of
' CUlarwick.) And in 22 Rich. 2. attended * the
King into Treland. But the next” year follow-
ing, thovgh he was one 8 of the cheif of thoſe
Peers; who formally ated in the depoſition of
that unfortunate Prince, King Richard the Se-
cond, yet was he ſoon after degraded * from his
' Honor, by that Parliament held in the firſt year
of King Henry the Fourth (which was the very
next jo. Xa year) as all thoſe other were ', who
were the proſecutors of that worthy perſon
Thomas of (Wloodſtock, Duke of HlioCeſter,
after he had been (ſo barbarouſly murthered at
Calats, as in due place ſhall be ſhewed 3 and
ſentenced * to loſe all ſuch Caſtles, Lordſhips, and
Lands, as he had of thoſe, whom he accuſed,
upon the day that the Duke of Hloceſter was
arreſted, or afterwards. And, that ! all his other
Caſtles, Mannors, and Lands; which he then,
or ſince, held of the King, ſhould be at the Kings
mercy : Moreover, that ® all Letters Patents
of thoſe Lordſhips, &c. ſhould be ſurrendred
and cancelled 3 and that he ſhould thencetorth
give no Liveries, or Cognizances , nor have any
Retainers, excepting his domeltick ſervants : As
alſo, that if ever ® he ſhould go about to giveaſ-
liſtance to the depoſed King, to be then proſecu-
tcd as a Traytor.

Of what he was afterwards guilty, doth not
- dire&ly appear 3 but it ſeems ®to have been an
adherent with the Earls of Kent, Saltsbury,
and Duntington, who dcfigned P the ſurpriſal
of King Hexry the Fourth at CClinD(02e, For
before the end of the hiſt year of that Kings
Reign. being conſcious 4 of his /danger, he re-

-2- ſolved * to flec, but was taken fat Buftoll, be-

tore he couldeffe& his purpoſe, and by the Vote
' of the Commons, being condemned to dic, was
carried ® into the Market-place, and there be-
headed *, by the rabblg; upon? the third day at-
ter S. Hillary, ten years before his Mothers death.

After which, viz. the next enſuing year (by
the name ® of Thomas, late Lord Spenſer, in re-
pard Þ beforc his death, 1.2 had been degradcd
trom the title of Earl of H{oceſter ) he was, to-
gether © with Thomas Holland, late Earl of Rent,
Jobn Holland, late Earl of DUntington, and
John Mountague, late Earl of SaltSbury, Call
formerly beheaded) adjudged 4 a Traytor 3 and
to forfeit all the Lands which he had in Fee, up-

on the hfth day of Fanuary, 2 Hen. 4+ '2s allo all
his Goods and Chattles, ,

OF ENGLAND.

Being thus put todeath at B2iſtoll, his Body
was buried © in the midſt of the Quire at Tewks-
ourys under « Lamp, which burned before the

ot.

Upon the death of this Thomas in 1 Hen. 4. a
Commiſhon * was iſucd to Sir Wiliam Beauchamp
Knight, Sir Fob» Chandos Knight, and Fohn ap
Herry,to inquire what Caltlcs, Lordthips, Lands,
&c. within the Territories oft Glamo2gnan and

All which being afterwards ſciſed Þ again into
the Kings hands, were reſtorcd i to her in

By this Conſt ance he Icft iſſue ) one Son, called

all other Lands and Tenures in J202mandp.

Being therefore poſſeſſed of this inheritance;
upon the aſſeſſment of the Aid for marrying
the Kings Daughter, in 12 Hey. 2. he certified
* his Knights Fees de Veteri & Novo Feoffament,,
to be in number four and an half; for all which
in 14 H.2. he paid ſixty —_ VIZ, twenty
three ſhillings and four pence, for his Fees de
Veteri Feoffamento, and for thoſe de Novo thirty
hx ſhillings and eight pence.

And after this, ere long viz. in 26 Hey, 2
was made Sheriff * of IKutlanD; in which
Office he continued # to the thirty third of Henry
the ſecond : as alſo three parts of the thirty
fourth year. So likewiſe * in 1 and 2 Ric, x,
And in 6 R. 1. was * in that expedition then
made into f202mandy.

When he dicd 1 find notz but to him ſuc-
ceeded Robert ; who took part with the rebelli-
ous Barons in King Fobns time, as it ſecms:
for it appears,that in 1 H. 3. the K. granted * his
whole Honor (id eſt, the Barony) of Danſlape 5
with-its appurtenances, unto Henry de Braboef,
for his ſupport in his ſervice, during pleaſure,
But before the fixth of Henry the third , this
Robert died (whereupon Iſabel his Widdow, one
of the Heirs * to Thurſtan Baſſet, gave ® twenty
marks for her purparty of her Fathers Lands )
leaving William his Son ® and Heir , who, be-
tore the end of that year, giving ſecurity © for
the payment of his reliefe; viz. an hundred
pounds, had Livery © of his Lands.

This William in 17 Fob. was conſtituted Go-
vernor © of Kokingham Caſtle, but the ſame
year, taking * part with the rebellious Barons,
he made a Garriſon of his Houſe at ÞÞanflape,
as it ſeems: for it is (aid ®, that the next en-
ſuing year, Falcaſe de Breant (who was then a
bold Souldier, and one that ſtood ſtoutly to the
King ) took it and demoliſhed it, upon the
fourth Cal. of December, Which hardening
him in his rebellious aCtings, he was , amonglt
others of that party, Excommunicated Þ® by the
Pope. Nor did the death of King Fohn (which
hapned the ſame year) allay the heat of his tus-
bulent diſpoſition 3 for it is apparent , that he
ſtill perſiſted thercin 3 and being in Armes againſt
King Hexry the third, in the Battle of Lincoln,
( 1 Hen. 3. the whole power of that rebellious
party being then utterly vanquiſhed ) he was
there taken * Priſoner. But after this, return-
ing to his due obcdience, he enjoycd his cſtate :
and in 7 Hen. 3. making a Park * athis Man-
nor of Yanſlape, had ! out of Salcey Foreſt,

thereof. In 10 Hey. 3. doing his Homage * for

by a ſpecial Writing, to ſerve the King faith-
fully all the dayes of his life z and never to op-
poſe him or his Heirs; 'for the better ſecuring
of that promiſe, he delivered ? up William his
Son, in Hoſtage. Whereupon the King, - ſoon

which, he did no whit ſlack his violent courſes: |

ſo that the famous William Marſhall ( then made
Governor of the young King and Kingdom )
was neceſſitated to haſten ® towards Lincoine.
with what power he could raiſe ; where giving

Robert Fitz-Hamon,

His" Robert, being * a young Man, and
| Lord of Aſtremeville in 4282maty-
Dy, came © into England with W/:l;-
am the Conqueror, being © of the Blood of Duke
Rollo, and Nephew to him 3 and afterwards, by
the gift ® of King William Rufis , obtained the
honor of Gloceiter , which had been the In-
heritance f of Briftric a Saxon. For this Briftric,
having incurred 8 the diſpleaſureof Queen Maxd
(the Conquerors Wife) when lie was Ambaſſador
beyond Sea, and ſhe a maid , by refuſing ® to
marry her, was for that reaſon difpoſſeſſed | there-
of, upon the Normans entrance 3 it being there-
upon given * to that Queen, who held ! it all
her life, and King William himſelt after ® her 3
asalſo King William Ryfis, till he beſtowed ® it
on this Robert, for the great ſervices formerly
done to his Father.

But that which I take to be moſt memorable
of this Robert, is, his being, the cheit actor in the
Conqueſt of Glamozganſhire 3 touching
which, thus faith mine Author® , that in A.
1091. (4 Will. Rufi) Feſtin, the Son of Gurgunt,
being Lord of that Terittory, Rees ap Theodore,
Prince of South Tales, (i4 eſt, of Caer-
marden and Cardiganſhires ) made War
upon him 3 and that Feſtin, diſcerning himſelf
unable to make defence, ſent one Exyor his ſer-
vant to this Robert Fitz-Hamon (then a Knight of
the Privy Chamber to the King) for his Aid,
with large promiſes of reward for his help: And
that thereupon Robert having retained twelve
Knights, marched with what power they could
all make into CUlales 3 and fo joyning with
Jeſftin, flew Prince Rees, and Conan his Son :
Furthermore, that afterthis Victory, demanding
his reward according, to the agreement ſo made
with Enyon , and Feſtin refuſing to perform his
promiſe, the difference came to betryed by Bat-
tles and that «ti being thercin ſlain, this Ko-
bert had the full poſſciſion of all that Territory :;
Whereupon, tor reward to thoſe twelve Knights,
with other his athſtants, he gave unto them divers
Caſtles and Mannors, v2. P.

1. To William de Londres, the Caſtle and Man-
nor of Dg&mMo}, bcing tour Knights Fees:
2. To Kichard de.Greenvile , the Lordſhip of
J2cthe.
3- To Pain Turbertile,the Caſtle and Lordſhip
of Coyty,
4+ ToRobert $, Quintin, the Caſtle and Lord-
ſhip of Lian-Bicthpan.
5. To Richard Siprard, the Caſtle and Lordſhip
of Talavan. |
6. To Gilbert de Humfrawile, the Caſtle and
Mannor of P>gnmarke.
7- To Reginald de Swl'y, the Caſtle and Man-
nor of Sullp. |
8. To Roger de Berkerells, the Mannor of Eaſt |

©:chard,

9. To Peter ds Soore, the Caſtle and Mannor
of Petertor.

10; To Fohbnle Fleming, the Caſile and Man-
nor of S. George.

11. To Jobnde S. John, the Caſtle ard Man-
norof Foumon or F ennoen.

12. And to Wiliam le Efterling ( altss Strad-
ling ) the Caſtle and Mannor of S. Donats.

Likewiſe 9, that, beſides this, he gave to the

before mentioned Enyon (being the perſon ime '

ployed to him from Feftin , and who tock his
part when he ſaw F:/tin refuſe to perform what
he had promiſed on his bchalf ) the Lordſhip of
'Senghennyth. And to Caradoc Fitz. Fejtiy ,
the cldeſt Son of Feſtin, the Caſtle and Lordſhip
of Avan 3 likewiſe the Caſtle of Ruthin,
another Son of 7etin. And the reſt of the Knights
Fees not ditiributed, part to other Gentlemen
that ſerved him ,, and part to thole We! who

It is reported *, that a little before the deaths z Mr. Pars

of King Willizm Rufus, a Forein Monk attcnding
the Court, upon ſome buſineſs, concerning, his
Monaſtery, made rclation to this Kobert Fitz-

Hamon (then a powerful Man with the King) of

a marvellous and terrible. dream he had the pre-
ceding night, vis. That he ſaw the King come in-
to a certain Ghurch, and with a proud and inſolent
behavior, «deſpiſe thoſe that were then preſent, Like-
wiſe, That he tookthe Crucifix in his Teeth, gnawed
the Arms of it, and almoſt pulled off the Legs z and,
that at length, the Crucifix gave him ſuch a kick
with the right Foot, that he fell down in a ſound up-
on the Floor, and that there iſſued ſo much flame out
of his Mouth , that the ſmoak thereof, like a Cloud,
aſcended up to the Stars.

Moreover , That when he reported what the
Monk had told him, the King laught heartily,
and ſaid, This is a Monk, and be hath for Iucre
dreamed Monkiſhly, give him five pounds, that it may
be ſeen he dreamed not in vain.

This Robert Fitz-Hamon took ® to Wife Sibill,
one of the Daughters of Roger de Montgomery ,
Earl of Shzewsburyp, and had iflue Þ by her
tour Daughters, - Mabell, Hawiſe, Cicely, and 4-
mice, and being wounded © with a Spear at the

Whereupon the Monks at Salmure, ſcnt over:

That his Lands in El1gtand were of no ſmall

As to his works of Picty, I find that he gave

' Which William ſuecceded *® in all that t

I firſt find memorable of him, is5. that, in

marks ,of Silver, for his part of the Honor of
Barſtaple, in Devonthire, the right he had
thereto being (as I conceive ) from, Fobel de Tote-

ther; think he means his Great-Grandfather 3; id
eſt, Father to the Wife of William de. Braoſe, his

and ten Grey-hounds, to have Livery of the
Calilcs of Oz0ſmont, Dkenefrith, and Lan-
tclio, which were of his inheritance 3 and which
he held ® of the King by the ſervice of two
Knights Fees.

In 10 Job, the King perceiving * that this
his Realm was interdicted by the Popes and
therefore fearing * more miſchief, ſent Y Souldi-
ers to alt the great men of England 3 eſpect-
ally to thoſe of whom: he ſtood in any doubt 3
requiring * Hoſtages from them, to the end he
might the better reduce them to his Obedience,
in caſe they ſhould be abſolved from their due
Allegiance by his Holinefs,

Whercupon ſome delivered up their Sons, and
others their Nephews, and near Allies. Coming
at length to this William, and requiring from him
the like Hoſtages, they found a Rub: for Maud
bis -Wife- Kept out , and told 'thern, | in ſhort ,
that ſhe would not ſuffer any of her Children to
come. into the Kings Hands, in regard he had
baſdy murthered his own Nephew Arthxr, whom
he ought to_ have treated honorably.

But Wiliem rebuked her, for ſpeaking thus
raſhly, and ſaid if he had in any thing offended
the King, he was ready to- make fatisfaCion ,
according to the judgement of the Court, and
the Barons his Peers 3 upon affignation of a cer-
tain day, and place, without giving any Floft-

es.

Sako the Meſſengers returning, and rec-
porting to the King what bad paſſed, he pre-
ſently ſent his Souldiers and Officers to ſeize
upon him privily, and bring him to his pre-
ſence : but Willam _— notice thereof, fled
forthwith, together with his Wife and Family,
into Jrelandy.

As to this ſtory of King Fobn's dealing with
him, it is in another manner related by ſome.
One * faith (viz. a Monk of Lanthonp) that
this William, having Warr with his great Ad-
verſary Gwenbunewyn , conquered him, and ſlew
more then three thouſand of the Welch, in one
day,at Elvel ( wiz. on the morrow after the
Fealt of Sr. Lawrence the Martyr , Ann. 1198.
Which falls out in , the laſt year of King
Richard the firſt ) and, that for this cauſe, King

Fobn diſherited him, and baniſhed him the King- þ

dom, without any formal judgement; and that

over, that after this, Giles, one of the Sons of
this William (then Biſhop of Dereto2D) as his
next Heir, onted Peter, in regard he had no juſt

this Biſhop Giles, being reconciled to the King ;
and thereupon readmitted to the Poſſeſſion of
thoſe Lands, enjoyed them all his timez and
died 'in Amr, 1215. leaving them to his Brother
Reginald,

But, after all theſe various relations 4 let us
now hear the ſubſtance of the King's own re-
port, which is upon Record 9, though with a
little miſtake , for it runs in the name of King
Henry: the ſecond. Whereas it ſhould be King

the King, in the Summe of hve thouſand marks
of Silver , for the Province of Munſter, in
Jreland, which had been demiſed to him 3 /and

the Ferme of the City of Ltmertc , for five
years alſoz and havin _ no more then an

Which being grantcd, and the King immediately
removing to Derefoad, he there attended him,

S, Vitior, on the Eve of $. Lawrence, And Matth.
Paris, putting, his death in An. 1212, ( which
differs a little in time) ſays #8 , That he fled from
Treland into France, and dying at Ebula,,
his Body was carricd to JJaris, and there ho-
norably buricd in the Abby of S. V:dor.

But after theſe great troubles in his later days,
I ſhall now ſay ſomething of his pious Works *
To the Monks of Lira in $202mandy, he gave
b the Church of Daſcſleve. And being i, by
Inheritance from his Mother, Lord of BBer-
gavenny 3 he gave* to the Monks of that Pri-
ory, all the Tithes of his Caſtle there , viz. of
Bread, Wine, Bcar, Cider 3 all manner of Fleſh,
Fiſh, Salt, Honey, Wax, Tallow 3 and in general,
of whatſoever ſhould be brought thither, and
ſpent there : And moreover, two marks of Silver
out of his Lordſhip of Eſpines ; and two
marks of Silver yearly out of his Lands in Eng-
land, ſoon as God ſhould enlarge them to
forty pound per «xm : As alſothe Toll on the
Market day, within the Gates of that his Caſtle.
which gift he ſo made to thoſe Monks of BCr-
navennhy, upon condition, that the Abbot and
Covent of S. Vincenti in Maine (to which, this
Priory of BErgavenny was a Cell) ſhould daily
pray for the Soul of King Hemry the Firſt; as
alſo for the ſoul of him the aid William, and
the Soul of Mand his Wife.

And it is obſerved ! of him, that in his uſual
Communicatica he would reverendly' uſc the
Name of God, viz. In Gods name let this be done,
or, If it pleaſe God; or, ByGods grace; ſolike-
wiſe in all his Letters he wrote. Moreover, that
in his journeys, whenſoever he came into a
Church, or bcheld a Croſs, though he were then
diſcourſing with another , he would leave off,
and betake himſelf to his devotions 3 and having
aid his Prayers, return to his former diſcourſe :
Likewiſe, when he met any Children in the way,
he would ſalute them courteouſly , to the end he
might have a return, with the bencdiction of
Innocents.

By Maxd his Wife, called ® Maud de $, TW ale-
ric, he had iſſue William (who was famiſhcd with
her at CUltndſo2e) Ges, Biſhop of Perefo2d
and Reginald (as before hath been obſerved ) md
four Daughters, viz. Foane ®, who was the Wife
® of Kichard Lord Percy, (a great Baron in the
North) Loretta wedded ? to Kobert Fitz-Parnell,
Earl of Leiceſfer, who had 4 with her in Mar-
riage the Lordſhip of Taveſtoke in Com. De-
vor, with thirteen Knights Fees 3 Margaret *, the
Wife of Walter de Lacy; and Mand, Wife f of
Griffth, Prince of Bolith CUales.

Of Philip his Brother , all that 1 have mer
with, is, That after the Conqueſt of Jretand,
upon the return of King Herry the Second ,
thence, amongſt other perſons of note, which he
left behind him there, he' was * one, and under |
him twenty Soldiers.

As to the Lands of this great, but unhappy
Man, it appears, That in 11 Job. the Sheriff of
Devon accountcd for Toreneys, Copn-
wthy, Barſtaple , and Lappefo2d ; and
chat the ſtock of Cattle upon ſome other, was
ſold for the Kings uſe : For in 12 Fob. Wiltizm de

hve thillings, for three hundred thirty ſeven

and the Rape of Bzembyy, in the Kings poſ-
ſeſſion. Which Barony, as it was then certitied,
had been held ! fromthe Conqueſt, by the ſaid
William, and his Anceſtors, by the ſervice of ten
Knights Fees |

"Berdeſtaple likewiſe, with fifteen Knights
Fees ( which alſo were part of his poſſeſſions )
was given * by King Fobn, to Peter Futz-Herbert,

King John, ſent his Brother Reginald to Byeck-
nock 3 and that the people there receiving him
as their Lord, he got poſſeſſion of all his Caſtles,
viz, Bergavenny, Penkelhy, Caſftell-
Hwyn (or White Caſtle) Hrolmunt, and the
Ifle of Cynuric 3 and that, when the Biſhop
came thither himſelf, they delivered unto him
the Cafiles of Aberhodny, Pay, Buelth, and
'Blaynlhyſhp 3 and that he to ſixengthen him-
ſelf in that Country, promiſed Caſteil-Payn,
Clune, with all Elvell, to alter Vachay, the
Son of Emeon Clyd.

But aſter ſome time, the wrath of King _
Jobn was well aſſwaged 3: for (being © at B2em- A hes
b2p in Suſſer, in the laſt year of His Reign)
he gave 4 way, that Reginald de Braoſe, third Son Briinalt
to this William the Elder, ſhould have ſafe con-
duQ to come to his preſence, to do his homage
and fealty z and granted a great part of his Fa-
thers Lands unto him, upon the ſame Fine and
Agreement, as Giles, Biſhop of Derefo2D, his
elder Brother, had made with him for the ſame.

And King Henry the Third, in the firſt of His
Reign, intimating to this Reginald, by a friendly
Meſſage *, That in caſe he would be an obedient

Upon whoſe death,/ the King gave command

the Lordſhip of BuCkingham, which was of
the Dowry © of Margaret his Wife, * Daughter
of Leweline, Prince, of (Uales , and to deliver
t the Came to Peter de Rievanlx (a great Man in
that age) to be by him dctained , until ® ſuch
time, as ſhe, the ſaid Margaret, did render unto
him, the two Sons of her late Husband, Jobs de
Braoſe ; and committed * the cuſtody of the Ca-
files of Bzembye acd Cnappe, unto Richard
Earl of Combal, to be by him kept, till the
Heir of the ſaid Fobr ſhould arrive to; his full
age. Which Margaret was afterwards married
1 to Walter de Clifford.

This John had iſſue * William de Braoſe, who
in 41 Hey, 3. when * Leweline ap Griffin had rai-
ſed a great Army, to. the danger of the Marches
of Wiales, was commanded * by the King to
make all the ſtrength he could, for the ſafeguard
of his own Marches (about GOowber.) And
the next year following, had Summons © to at-
tend the King at Chiſter, well accoutred with
Horſe and Arms, to reſtrain the inſolencies of the

In 44 Hen, 3. , he was required 9,. amongſt

thoſe parts, for the defence of them againſt the
boſtile-invalions of Leweline ; .and —_—_— ©'the

N Anno 1074. ( 8 Will. Cong.) William Pan-
tolf, a valliant Knight (through the advice
of Maier, the venerable Abbot of St. E-
bralfs, at Citica ) founded Þ the Abby of Sr.
Peter, at Nom , and amply endowed © it
with Lands and Tithesas alſo with the Churches,
within his ſeveral Lordſhips., both in Engiand,
and J202mandy 3; and Tithes of all his poſſe(-
hons. Moreover he gave 9 all his perſonal Eſtate,

' to be equally divided betwixt the Monks of St.

Ebrulfs, and thoſe of 4202Um 3 Roger de Mont-
gomerie, his ſuperior Lord (then reſiding at BE-
teline, in 5202mandy) adding his Conftirma-
tion * thereto.

Furthermore, in Ann. 1077. ( 10 Will.Cong,)
he accompanied * Robert Abbot of St. Ebrulfs
(Brother to Hxgb de Grentmeſnill) after he had
been at the Dedication of the Churches of Cane,
BalteUr, and Bec, (which were Conſecrated
fche ſame year). into Apulia : at which time
Kebert Wigerd, then Dake of Calab2ta, re-
ceived 8 him with much Honor 3 and, taking no-

Bernard Newmarch was ones as it ſeems: for

it appears * that he was a Witneſs to one of

his Charters , granted to the Monks of Bat- |

tail, in Duſſer, upon his foundation of that
Abb . x - , ,

That which, in the next place, I find to be
moſt memorable of him, is 3 that after the Con-
queror had got full poſſeſſion, of this Realm 3
and aiming * at a peceable: enjoyment thereof ,
had almoſt totally Jiſherited.* the Native Eng-
liſh, by diſtribution 9 of their Lands amongſt his
Normans, and other followers 3; which occaſioned
© a farther confluence of more Aliens hither ,
(this whole, Realm being. tos little for their
greedy appetites.) Robert. Fitz-Hamon. ( iff the
time of King William Rafis ) having Conquered

_ £ Yorganoc., in Wales 3 there were divers

others, who obtained £8.1leave to invade the reſt
of that Countrey 3 amongſt which this Bernard
was Þ one, who undertook the Province of B2eck:
nock ; and accordingly won | all the three Can-
tereds of that territory. After which ,, ſeating

.A"z. himſelf there, he founded * a Priory of Bene-
diftine Monks, near to his Caſtle : And for! the

health of the Soul of King William the Conquer-
or and his Queen , as alſo ® for the. Soul of King

of his Wife and Children; endowing,® it with
Lands and ;Revenuecs of a large extent, gave

Son) he joyncd * with Roger de Lact in the in-
valion of Derefordſhire. And, that he mar-
ried * Neſts (alis, Agnes) Daughter to Grifyn
Son of Lewelyz Prince of Wlaies, by whom
he had iſſue ? a Son called Mael; who enjoyed
not * that Inheritance, For, taking * notice that
his Mother did play the Adultreſs z watching
d one night for her Paramour ( in his returne from
her Bed) he maimed © him grievouſly, and then
let him go 4 with ſhame. And that this AQ
of his ſo enraged his Mother , that in revenge
© thereof, ſhe made her addreſs to the King
and publickly took f her Oath, that this Mael,
her Son , was not begotten by her Husband 3
but by another with whom ſhe had at that time
private familiarity. Morcover, that the King
thereupon took occaſion to bereave # him of his

whole Inheritance 3 and cauſed Livery ® to be |\ wia;

made of it to Sybill her So whom ſhe aft-
firmed i to be the child ©

that he married * her to a noble Knight of his
Court, called Miles, the Son of Walter Conttable
of Hidutefter. Which Miles was afterwards
by Maxd the Empreſs {advanced to the Earldom
of Derefo)D (of whom and his Deſcendants I
have ſpoke in due place.)

Having thus done with this Bernard, Icome
to Adam de Newmarch ( though how allied to
him I find not) who in the time of King Herry
the firſt, beſtowed | three Ox-gangs ot Land,
and an- half, in Dalton, on the Canons of
Noſtell, » Com. Ebor.

Next, to William de Newmarch, who in 5 H-:2.
gave ® ninety three pounds fixteen' ſhillings
eight pence, for the cuſtody of the Lands of
Adam de Newmarch ( Son to the laſt Adam, as
I gheſs. ) Which Wiliam in 10 Rie. x. paid ® an
hundred pounds for Livery of his Fathers Lands
aS alſo ® an hundred marks for his. Relief, at the
ſame time.

In 6 Fob, Godfrey de St. Martin bad Livery
P of this William's Lands in Dantſhire 3 having
the cuſtody 4 of them granted to him; to be an-
ſwerable for the Profits to the Exchequer : with
intimatiog * 3 that, if this Fill:am had paſſed any
of them away, after he fell into bis infirmity of
Leproſy , that thoſe ſhould return to his Ba-
TONY» *

From this William I deſcend to Henry de New-
march, who in 12 Hen. 2. upon the affeſſment
of the aid for matrying the Kings Daughter ;
certified © his Knights Fees 'to be in number
ſixteen, an half, two thirds, and two fifth parts:
for which in 14 Hen.2. (upon collection of that
Aid) he paid eleven pounds fourteeri ſhillings

Fine of ten Marks, to be then . from at-

Howbeit, in 47 and 48 Hev. 3. when the re-

For which great fervices, having obtained © a
Grant of large Poſſeſſions 3 he gave © to one

But in 25 Edw. 1, being * in the Wars of

end © he might Teceive no damage in his Lands
here, during that his reſtraint, the King com-
mitted 4 the care of them unto Wilkam de Ber-
quey, his own peculiar Attorney.

Having, done with this Will:am, I now come

as alſo not ignorant of the danger impending, |
conſidering ® likewiſe the ancient Friendſhip, be-
ewixt himſelf and that King and that he ſtood
obliged to him, not only by the Band of Friend-
ſhip, but by a kind of neceſſary fidelity, deſired
leave of his fellow Soldiers to go to him, with
purpoſe either to diſſwade him from fighting, or
triendly to leave him. : |

And, accordingly, coming intq his preſence
told him*, That what he had to adviſe, ſhould
be honorable to himſelf, and profitable to his
Realm 3 adding 4, That the Englih had beet his
beſt Friends, and, that they had ſo approved
themſelves to Duncan and Edgar, his Brothers,
im their greateſt exigentsz inſtancing in ſundry

be ſtood moſt in need of their aid 3 demonſtra-
ting © likewiſe to him, the unavoidable conſe-
quences of War, viz. Rapine, Spoil, and De-
ſirution. And, that * though his Army was,
more numerous, yet the Exgliſh were more vali-
ant and ſtrong, and reſolved to conquer, or looſe
their lives.
Which expreſſions ſo wrought upon that King,
that he forthwith brake * out into tears, and had
condeſcended to a peaceable accord, but ® that
IWiliam his Nephew (a perſon of extraordinary
courage, and the cheif inſtigator of this invaſi-
fon) came in, and in great fury charging this
Robert de Brus With treachery , diſſwaded i the
King from hearkning unto him. Whercupon,
, xeturning * with ſorzxow tothe Engliſh Hoſt, pre-
aration was ſuddenly made ! for Battle 3 which
forthwith enſuing, the Engliſh obtained ® a glo-
rious victory.

To conclude, This Robert being a very

Baalun.

N the time of King Edward the Confeſſor
Dru * de BaladonC or Balon ) had ifſue ® three
Sons 3 viz. Hameline, Wyonoc, and Wynebald,

as alſo three Daughters, Emme, Ducia, and: Be-
atrix. Which Hamelin? came 4 into Whnland
with Willizm the Conqueror z and being * the
firſt Lord of all chat terrifory, in (Ualres ,
called Wver-Wlent, built © a ſtrong Caſtle at
"verccavenny, where a Gyant, called Agros ,
had raifed one formerly.

This Hameline alſo founded 8 the Priory of
Lergavenny3 and departing the World in
3 Will. Rafi, was there buricd : but , having no
iſſue, gave ® that Caſtle to Briexe Son to the
Earl of the Iſle, his Nephew C( commonly cal-
led Briemtins filtus Comitis ) viz. Son of his Sitter
Lucie.

Of Winoc the ſecond Son, I find no farther
mention. - But Wynebald, the third Son, being
a devout man, in Ann. 1092. (2 Wal. Rufi )
gave + his Lordſhip of Budeſthozne, to the
Monks of 1Bermumbſep , as alſo three Yard-
lard and an half in CUDon 3 and fix Yard-
land in Harnwick, with the Church of Hard-
wick , and Tithes of Eftenton;, with ten
ſhillings Rem our of the Mill at Sutton. Ard
moreover. * halt his Lordſhip of Upton , wich
the Church of Apton, and land called Belne-
ham. Furthermore, he gave | to the Monks
of St. Peters at Otonicefter (in Ax. 1126.
26 Hen, 1. ) one half 'Hide of Land, in Amc-

neye ? in which Grant he calls ® himſelf one |,

of King Henry the firſt's. great Barons. More-
over, by the conſent of Roger his Son , he be-
ſtowed ® on them, his Lordſhip of RoDcto2De,
and Mill at Fromcltode.

Of this Family alſo (I preſume ) was Fobz
de Baalun, who in 26 Hen. 3. the King being

*then at Fantoine, for vindication of thoſe in-

juries, which he had received from the French,
had command? , with divers others , to fit
himſelf with Horſe and Armes, for his afſiſtance
in that ſervice. And in 33 Hen. 3. having mar-

ried 4 Auda, Siſter and Heir to William Painell,

and giving ſccuriry ” for his Relicf, had livery
ſ of the Lands of her inheritance. Further-
more, in 41 Hen. 3. being * then one of the Ba-
rons-Marchers, he received command ® to attend
Humphrey & Bobun, Earl of Deretoid, in
guarding the Marches, betwixt ontgomerie
and the Lands of the Earl of Glouceſter. And
in 42 Hex. 3. had the like command * to at-
tend the King at Cheſter, on the Munday
preceding the Feaſt of St. John Baptift, well hted
with Horſe and Armes, to reſtrain the Hoſtili-
tics of the Welſh.

In 44 Hen. 3. the Welſh being again in Arms,
he received farther Summons Y ( as the reſt of
the Barons-Marchers then did) to repais into
thoſe parts 3 and to joyn with them, in defence
of the Matches: and in 47 Hen. 3. to be * at
Hercfowd, well fitted with Horſe and Arms,
to reſiſt the incurſions of the Welſh. Moreover,
in 49 Hen, 3. having becn * in Armcs againſt
the King, with the rebcllious Barons of that
age 3 after he ſaw their. ruine in the Battle of
Eveſham, he made Þ® his Peace. But farther
then this I have not fcen of him.

OF BNGLAND.

Say of Ricard's-Caſtle.

-\ He firſt of this ſyname, of whom I have
found any meftion, is Picot * ds Say,
one Þ of the principal Barons to that

reat man Roger de Montgomerie, E. of Shrewl-

try (of whom I have elſewhere ſpoke at large)
and preſent © with him when he fiſt began
that” pious work, in founding the Monaſtery of
St. Peter and Paxl, at Shrewsbitry, After
him there was Theodoric de Say, who gave 9 unto
that Abby certain Lands im Stoke ( now
called Stoke-Say) i» Com. Salop. And next to
him, Hugh de Say, who afſumed that' Sirname,
as *tis probable, from Exjtachia © ds Say, his Mo-
ther 3 for certain f it is, that Hwgh Firz-Orbern,
was his Father z which, Osherz was called 8 O/-
bernas filins Ricardi, and had great poſſethors in
divers Countics of this Realm, at the time of
the Conquerors general Survey *; w#z, in ((402-
ceſterſhire thirteen Lordihips, in Bedfo2p-
ſhire four, in f2otingyantyire fix, in CTIar-
wiekſHire ten, m S11oplhtre nine ( whereof
Burefo2D was one )and in Here 02Dhire cigh-
teen having i at that time twenty three Soul-
diers in the Caſtle of Attretone, in that County;
which Caſtle was then valucd at twenty ſhilliogs
per annum}, the Father of which Osbern;, viz.
Richard (and firnamed) * Scrupe, was | owner of
ſome of thoſe Lordfhips, in Edward the Con-
feſfors days: and gave name (without doubt )
to that place called Rfcards-Caſile in Iere-
fo2dſhire, which for many agcs afterwards, con-
tinued to his poſterity.

This Hmngh de Say had an c|der Brother, called
Ofbert Fitz-FHugh;, whoin 7 H.2. paid ® tweuty
pounds for the Scutage of thoſe Knights Fees,
whereof he was pofleſſed (the ſeat and head of
his Barony being at RICaYDS-Caſtle betorc-
mentioned. But upon affefſment of the Aid ,
for marrying, the Kings Daughter, in 12 H. 2.
the certificate ® then ſent by him, of what
Knights Fees he held, was not ® rccorded , in
default of his Subſcription thereto 3 and there-
fore Wiliam de Beauchamp (who ſhould ? have
made return thereof ) took 4 it back with him,
to have it added.

It ſeems thoſe Knights Fees were twenty three
in number: for in 14 Hen. 2. he anſwered i (6
many niarks, upon that account ( which was
according to the rate then paid by all others. )

This Osbzrt, at the ſpecial inſtance * of Wal-
ter de Clifford , gave | to the Nunns of God-

ſtow, i Com. Oxon. a Salt work in ({liCche , +

called the Cow, for the health of the Soul of
Margaret the Wife of the ſaid Walter, and of
Roſamund his Daughter, whoſe Bodics lay in-
terred in that Abby. He likewiſe gave ® ts the
Canons of Waghmon, i» Com. Salo;. his Mill
at CUIchbald; and to the Monks of Lira in
Nozmandy, he quittcd ® all his intercſt in the
Church of Tametbury, in Com. Heref.
Moreover - (with ® Exſtachia de Say his Mo-
ther) he gave ? to the Monks of Font-Eve-

County : Reginald de St. Walerie, Son Þ of Gay,

This Reginald being owner of the Lordſhip
ef Daſeldene (# Com, Gloxc. ) was diſſeiſed
.

© thereof by King Stepben in the times of War, ;ly

being 9 then his adverſary. Which King gave
© it to JFobn de St, John, from whom the Monks
of RingsSwood obtained * it : but afterwards,
when Peace was ſettled, he enjoyed ® it again,
It is ſaid Þ, that in 10 Hey. 2. upon intelligence

biſhop of Canterbury, was privily_ fied into
France 3 this Reginald was one of thoſe, they
ſent by King Herry the ſecond with Letters to
the King of that Realm, to deſire that he might
not have any reception there.

I come now to his works of Piety. To the

who fought * ſo courageouſly, in that Battle
againſt the Scotts near J202th-Alverton , in

About this time, it was, that he laid claim

But the next mention, I find of him, is, That
being accuſed © for the deach of King Herry the
Second, and thereupon adjudged © to forteit all
his Lands. King Fobn, in the cight of His Reigr,
gave f of thofe Lands ſo Eſcheated, theMamhtior
of Berewitk, to Alan Buſſer 3 to hold in/Fee-
terme, for the Rent of fifteen pounds prr ammum,
payable to the Exchequer, at Michaelmas arid Edfter
by even portions.

How bcit, after this Adam, T do not difcern
that his poſterity did any longer bear the ſirname
of Port, but aſſumed that of S. Fohnz the rea-
fon whercof, I ſuppoſe to have been, becaufe
Mibell his Wife, was Grand-child 5 and Heir to

|

_—

Roger de S$, Fohn, viz. Þ Daughter of [Reginald |

de Anrevalls, by Murielle , Daughtcr of him' the |

(aid Roger.

Of which Roger de $. Fobn, it appears i, that
he married Citely, the Davghtcr and Herr of
K ebert de Haya, on whom King Henry the Firſt,
beſtowed * the Honor of DAaInac (fince called
Hatnaked ) i» Com. Suſſe Founder ! of the
Priory of Wornrave, in that County, which
was a Cell to Eltay in I202zmandy, Likewiſe,
that he had iſſue ® two Sons, William and Robert,

who amplified * the number of the Monks at |

Borgrave ( fo Founded by Robert de Haya )
from three to fifteen z William adding ten, and
Robert ® two.

I come now to William the Sonof Adam ?, by
the before ſpecified Mabel. This William aſſured
the firname of S. Fobx , writing 4 himſelf, W:1-
lielmus de Santio Fobanne filius & beres Ade de
Port : And in 15 Joh. gave” hve hundred marks
to the King for Livery of all the Lands of Adam
de Port his Father. Moreover he covenanted with
f him, that he would provide ten Soldiets, well
fitted with Horſe and Artns to ſerve him im
Potitou, for one whole year, at his own pro-
per colts.

In 16 & 17 Joh. he exceuted * the Sheriffs
Office for the County of Southampton 3 and
in the ſame ſeventeenth year, bcing ® one of the
Barons then in Arms, under colour of afferting
the Laws, &«c, did not return to his due obedi-
ence, upon the death of King fob (which ſhort-
ly aftex hapncd) as many other did : For, in

1 Hey. 3. it appears *, that Fohyu Mareſchall had
then a Grant of all his Lands, to ſupport him in
the Kings ſervice: But afterwards, it ſcems, he
became loyal, and rcgained the Kings favor 3 for
in 11 Hen.z. he was truſted ? with the Govern-
ment of the Ifles of Ocernieyp and Tcrſep,

To this William de S$. Fobn (by Godchild, the
Daughter * of N. Paganel his Wife) ſucceeded
2 Robert de $, Fohn, his Son and Heir. Which
Robert, in 38 Hem. 3. obtained a Charter Þ® for

Ru de beverer, a Fleming ®, being a per-
ſon of great valor, came ® into Eng-

Cecilie his Widdow then giving an hundred }
marks and two Palfreys, that ſhe might not be |
compelled to marry again.

To Which Simon ſucceeded another William ,
who in 13 Fob. = levying the Scutzge of
TUales, paid © forty three pounds for twenty
onc Knights Fees and an half de Vereri Feoffa-
mento, and five marks for cleven Fees and an
half de novo Feoffamento.

In 16 Joh. he had a Grant © from the King ,
ofa Market once every week, and a Fair yearly
at his Lordſhip of Foikeſton, But ſoon after,
being © one of thoſe rebellious Barons, who held
the Caſtle of Rocheſter againſt King Fobn ,
was ( with divers others) taken priſoner
in 17 Foh. and committed to the cuſtody 8 of
Peter de Mauley , who conveyed him thence to
Cofff Caſtle ; unto which place , Cecilie his
Mother had, erc long, Letters * of ſafe conduct
to go: yet, within a ſhort ſpace, he received a
gracious meſſage * from the King, then at D0-
V0?2, intimating, that if he would come in per-
ſon thither, he ſhould find favor at his hands.
Whereupon he obtained liberty, as it ſeems : for
I find, that the next enſuing year , he had Let-
ters | of ſafe Condudt to go throughout the Kings
whole Dominions, to make means for his own
redemption : but that work was not ſuddainly
accompliſhed for it is evident, that he gaveup
Maud his Daughter in Hoſtage to the King 3
which Maud in 5 Hen. 3. was redelivered ®to
him, putting another in her ſtead. And thatat
laſt Cecilie his Mother fold * the Lordſhip of
Sutton, in Suſlrr, to the Monks of 1K0-
bertsbaxgn, to ſatishe the King for the ſame.

This Wiliam married ® Maud one of the Daugh-
ters and Coheirs of Hawyſe the Wife of Fohn
de Bovill, whoſe cftate lay * in the Counties of
Dron, Efſer, Pertfo2b, and Bedto2d t and
died ® in 15 Hey. 3. as it ſeems; for Hubert de
Burgo had then a grant P of the cuſtody of his
Heir : Howbeit, within three years after, William
Biſhop of Ereter, for a Fine of two thouſand
marks, obtained 4 his Wardſhip with purpoſe

Daughters of Richard de Chilham, and Roeſe de
But this Heir whoſe name # was
alſo William, died * ſoon after, Maxd ” his Siſter

Hamon Crevequer ( a great Baron in Kent )

OF ENGLAND.

ſole Danghter and Heir | to Robert &' Oiley, and
and Widdow ® of Milo Criffen z viz. the whole

Honor of CAalingfo2D, King Henry the Firſt
e, with all that.
her ſaid Hus- |

iving ® her unto him in miarri
es Inheritance, after the death
band Mile. Howbeit, notwithſtanding this favor
of King Hemry the Firſt, it appears, That he came

toa Compoſition with Kiftg* Stephen for his more |

ſecure enjoyment thereof, for in 5 Steph. the
Record ® ſays, That he gave to the King one
hundred ſixty fix pounds for the Office and part
of the Lands of Nigel de Oiley.

That which I find moſt memorable of this
Brien, otherwiſe is, That he was one of thoſe
who adhered to Maxd the Empreſs againſt King
Stephen: For in 4 Steph. upon ? her landing at
Arundel in Suſſer, Rober?, Earl of Gioceſter
(her Brother) haſted 4 co (iatingfo2d Caſtle
(the principal Seat of this Brien ) to acquaint
him therewith (in which Caſtle he had a Pri-

nA. fon © called Cloere-Brien, wherein William Mar-

tell, Sewer to King Stephen, was ſecured © after
the Battle of CUUncCheſter, where that King was
routed.

The Author * of Geſia Regis Stephant, calls
this Brien, Vir genere clarks, & dignitate magnifics,
m——4 perſon nobly deſcended, and of great dig-
nity; and ſays ®, hearing, that Maud the Empreſs
was landed at Arundeil , and thence got to
J51i(toil 3: much rejoycing thereat, he fortified
his Calile at CUalingfo?0, and ceaſed not,
with a multitude of Soldiers, to oppoſe King
Stephen,

To which Caſtle (it being remarkable * for its
ſtrength ) ſhe fled Y for refuge from Orto2d,
when that City was beſieged by King Stephen,

In 7 Steph when that Empreſs, being at ({1IN-
cheſter, required *, That, as ſole Daughter and
Heir to King, Herry, ſhe might be received as
Qucen and Governels of this Realm , and made
Oath ® to the Biſhop , That in caſe he would 6
accept her, he ſhould have the cheit hand in
guiding all things of moment, and the diſpoſal
of the Biſhopricks and Abbies : This Brien, with
Robert, Earl of -»{Oceſter , and ſome others,
undertook ® by Oath that ſhe ſhould perform the
(ame. .

After this, he was © one of thoſe who affiſted
on her part, in the ſiege of the Caſtle at (Utn-
cheſter, then fortified 4 on the behalf of King
Stephen. And never © ceaſing toaid her, with all
his power, when her Axmy there was routed,
attended f her in her flight tothe Caſtle of Oe-
vi3es.

This is all that I can ſay of him , other than
that he had © two Sons 3 whom being, Lepers ®,
he placed i in the Priory of 1BErgavennmty ,
( Founded by Hamelin his Uncle, as hath been
obſerved) and gave®* Lands and Tiches thereto
for their ſupport. And», that after this, with
great devotion , that he took ! upon him the
Croſs, and went ® to Yerulalem, leaving ® the
Inheritance of DVerwent, and the Caftle ® of
Oroſmunt, to Walter his Kinſman, Conſtable
of England, Son to Milo de Glocefter, Earl of
Herefozd, and to? the ſaid Mi, and kis Heirs,
the Caſtle and whole Honor of 1BErgavenny,
to be held 4 of him the (aid Braex, and his Heirs,
-by the ſervice of rhree Knights Fees.

All which being obſerved * by King Henry the
Second 3 and that he, the ſaid Briex, together
with Mazd his Wife, did betake © themſelves to

Toni.

He firſt of this Family that carye into
England, was Kalpb de Tory, Eon of
Roger,by Alice,the Daughter * of William

Fitz-Osberne (which Koger was Standard-Bearer
b of 1No2wandp, and Founder ©*of the Abby
of Conchis, in that Dukedom. )

This Ralph being a great Bardn * there,
through the malicicus ſuggetiion © of ſome who
bore a grudge towatds him, was cxpelled f thence
by Duke Willzam ; but afterwards, by the inter-
ceſhon 8 of Friends, being reſtored * to his Pater-
nal Inheritence as alſo, to i that Office of 'Stan-
dard Bearer, was * with him in that memorable
Battle againſt King Haro!4 (whereby, being Cons
queror, he thenceforth enjoyed the Crown of this
Realm ) and for his eminent (ſervice in that
hght, became a ſharer in thoſe large poſſcilions,
which were after that Signal Conqueſt, diſpoſed
of to his Friends and followers$ having at the
time of the General « Survey + one Lordſhip in
Berkſhire, two in Dertfo2dſhirr, whercof
Fiamſtead (where he afterwards made his cheif

41(fo2d, (which William Fitz-Osrberne, Earl of
| Derefo2d, had newly built upon a piece of waſte

Ground) and nineteen in #20zfolk,

Being a devout Man, he gave ® to the Monks
of CItica in Nozmandy, two Lordſhips lying
in (Uorceſterſhire, viz. Caldecote and .;i-
winton3 to the ® Monks of. Bret, his Mannor
of (Uothams and to the Monks of Conchis
his Mannor ®of Leve, with the Tithes P of his
Demeſn Lands throughout all his other Lord-
ſhips. Moreover, to the Monks of Teſt Acre
in 1202folk, (a Cell co Lewes in Suſſex) he

gavg 9all thoſe Lands which Oliver, the Prieſt,
held of him.

Daughter * of Simon de Montfort, ( who ſurvi-
ving him, became a Nun * in the Abby of Alta
Brueria,.) he left iſſue Ralph, his Son and
Heir (Roger, his elder Son, dying * in his youth)
and Gedechild a Daughter, firlt ® married to

THE BARONAGE

Tony,

alſo * the Church and Tithcs of that Mannor,
with the Mill and Moors thereto adjoyning
likewiſe !, forty Acres of Land in Dſtenton, and
whatſocver elſe he had in that Townſhip. He like-

wiſc founded " that little Monaſtery of Nuns,dc- }

dicatcd to S.Giles,in the Wood, near Flamſtead
in {)ertto2dſhire. And having divers ſharp skir-
mifhes ® with Robere, Earl ot Leiceſter, and
G.leran, Earl of Melient, about the beginning
of King Stephens Reign, was at length by them
taken priſoner ®: But thoſe quarrels being after-
; wardsput to an cnd, by a peaceable compoſure,
he had his liberty 43 and, about two years after,
was brought * by them to King Stephen, and ho-
norably reconciled f unto him.

BY o ao «00 his Wife, Daughter * tothe Ear) of
Denault , this Robert had " in marriage twenty
pounds Lands in Bercolt, of the gift of King
* Henry the Firſt. He had likewiſe a Grant * from
King, Henry the Sccond, of one hundred ſhillings
Land in Polcham in Com. Norf. and departed
Y this life in An. 1162. ($ Hen.2.) leaving iſſue
Dy cos « his ſecond Wife, Daughtcr to Robert,
Earlof Leiceſter, Þ Son, called Roger, then of
tcadcr years.

Which Roger in 6 Rich. y. upon * levying the
Scutage for that Kings Redemption, accounted
d forty ſhillings for his Lands in @UMler 3 and in
1 Joh. obtaincd a Charter © to himſelf, and Con-
ftance, the Daughter of Richard Vicount Bello-
mont (a Kinſwoman to the King) and to their
Heirs, of the Lordſhip of Alricheſcote ir Com.
Devon. (Which King Henry the Firſt gave unto
Conſt ance his Daughter, Grand-mother to the be-
fore [pccified Conſtance) in Confirmation 4 of that
Grant thereof, which had becn made unto them
the ſaid Roger and Conſtance, before he attained
the Crown of this Realm. So likewiſe © of Lands
to tke value of forty pounds per annum, which
had been duc to him from King John, from the
time he was Earl of oO2etohns and then alſo
obtaived the Mannor of Saham in JNozfolk,
by the gift * of that King,

To him ſucceeded Kalph Chis Son and Heir,
as Igucſs) who was in Arms againſt King Fob,
with the reſt of the Rebellious Barons of that
time, as it ſecms: For in 18 Fob. I find, that the
King g1antcd 3 unto Waleraud Teys, the Mannor
of ylumſtcad, (which was his cheif Seat) to-
wards the charge ot defending the Caſtle of
Berkamſtead.

Ot this Ralph, and his younger Brother Roger
(a valiant and expert Soldicr) the Monk of S$.
Albans makes this notable relation ® , viz. That
in the Moneth of FanuarygAn.1228.(12 Hen,z.)
K oger, lying on his Death Bed near Reading,
in Berkſhire , his Brother Kalph deſired to
have ſomc Conference with him 3 and being then
diſtant thirty miles, rode with all ſpced, to come
to his life : But when he got thither, finding
lum; tpecchleſs, and void of ſenſe, with great
latnentation he cryed out , My dear Brother, I
conjure thee in the name of God , that thou ſpeak to
me, adding, That he would never eat again, un-
Iſs he might have ſome diſcourſe with him. And
that thereupon the dead man ſharply rebuked
him, for thus diſquicting his ſpirit, by thoſe im»
portunate clamors 3 tclling him, that he then be-
held with his eyes the torments of cvil men, and
the joys of the Bleſſed 3 and likewiſe the great
putiuhincnt whereunto he himſelf ( miſerable

Tes, quoth Roger, for I have done one good work,
though but a little one , that u4 toſay, a ſmall gift rg
bs hw of the Bleſſed Virgin for which, through
Gods I truſt for redemption. But quoth Ralph,
may, not thoſe puniſhments whereunto thou art de-
ſigned, be mitigated with good Works, Maſſes, and
Alms Deeds #f Tes, queth Roger : W by then, uoth
Ralph, I do faitbfu promiſe thee, that for the bealth
of our Souls, and the Souls of our Anceſtors, T will
found a Keligiow Houſe, for good Men to inbabite ;
who for the Featth of our Souls, ſhall always pr

in need of ſuch helps, but do defire you to promiſe

nothing herein, that you will not effefinally perform.

And ſo bidding him farewel, gave up the ghoſt.
After which his Brother, in fulhlling of what

Weſtern part of England, and amply endowed
it with Lands and Revenues. |
In 17 Hen.3. upon that loſs * which the Ki
Army, then in Herefo2dſhire, received, ny
ower and ſtrength of Richard Earl Marſhall, and
bis complices 3 the King conſtituted ! this Ralph,
with Jobn de Monmouth, his Generals of all thoſe
Forces, which were at that time in the Confines
of (Uales , and gave ® him aud Caſfile in
DPerefo2dſhire, (which was his own before by
right.) Moreover, in 23 Hen. 3. he ſent his Pre-
cept ® to him, thereby _—_ his» perſonal at-
tendance at Orxfo2d, with the xeſt of the Barons
Marchers, upon the Tueſday next enſuing the
©uinzime of Eaſter 3 there to cofifer, touching
thoſe dangers, which were then impending from
the Welſh. But the next enſuing year, viz. in An.
1239. (23 H. 3.) being ſigned? with the Croſs,
as divers other Nobles ( eſpecially of France)
* then were, he took? a journey to the oly-
Land, and about Michaelmas following , died
* on the Sea. Wc
After which, ſcil. in 31 H. 3. the King'icom»

fronill ( his Widdow ) and in 35 Hen. 3. ap-

Dowry afligned to her, out of the Lands be-
longing to that Caſtle 3 the Wardſhip of Roger
his Son and Heir (by reaſon of his Minority )
being granted * to Hampbr
Eſſex, and Perefo2d.

Which Roger, in 47 Hen. 3. had alſo Sum-
monsf, amongſt other of the Barons Marchers,
to be at Peref02D, upon Munday next after
Candlemas day, to oppoſe the "Hoſtile attempts
of the Welſh: and in 48 Hey. 3. adhered firmly
to the Ring, when the Rebellious Barons gave
him Battle at Lewes, and took him priſoner 3
for which reſpeR, in Fuly following , they ſeized
* his Caſtle of Kirtling, and committed * it to
the Cuſtody of Henry de Haſtings, one of the
moſt aQive men of their party. After which

Po2k, the Church of Boſlwozth, and two
Hides of Land there. Moreover, Þ to the
Hoſpital of S. Fob» Baptiſt in @tantf02D in Com.
Linc, he joyned with Richard de Humet, in the
Grant of that =_ of the Meadow there, which
lies Northwards of the Bridge , and confirmed
* to the Canons of Rentilwozth, that Grant of
the Church of ÞÞethe in Com. Oxon, Which
Leſceline, his Mother, had made to them. And
departing * this life in An. 1192. (4 Rich. 1.)
- Joppa, in the Poly Land, was buried * at
con.

This Bertram had two Wives, the firſt Maud,
Daughter f to Robertade Ferrers, Earl of Derby,
with whom her Father gave # in Frank-marriage
four Knights Fees, viz. Crakemerle and
Creyton, containing one Fee and an half ;
Fonewarke half a Fee 3 J2ew Hall and
Stanton half a Fee > Wonthington and
Newbold half a Fee , and Stanton-Harold
the fourth part of a Knights Fee 3 but by her he
had no iſſue. His ſecond Wife was Roheſe ®, but
whoſe Daughter I find not z which Robeſe ſur-
vived him ; And, in the tenth of Richard the
Firſt, gave i twenty pounds to the King, for liber-
ty to marry again.

Affter«he death of this Bertram, William Fitz-
Richard (a great Man at that time in (Warwick:
ſhire) in Kich.r. accounted * for the Profits of
his Lands, whilſt he had the cuſtody of them 3
and amongſt his disburſements' reckons 1! ten
pounds laid out for the maintenance of thoſe
Soldiers and Servants, who were in his Caſtle at
Alveton, for the half year preceding 3 as alſo
" ſeven pounds more, for thoſe who kept his
Caſile of Bzandon 4 by the Kings appoint»
ment.

To this laſt mentioned Bertram ſucceeded Tho-
mar de Verdon,” his Son and Heir, who married
" Exſtachis, the Daughter of Gilbert Baſſet ; and
in 6 Rich.1. gave ® aFine to the King of three
hundred marks, to have Livery of his Fathers
Lands and Caſtles 3 but in An. 1199. (9 Rich.1.)
he died P in Treland, After which, viz. in
2 Joh. Gerard de Camvill gave 9% a thouſand
pounds to the Ring, for the Guardianſhip of his
Widow with her Lands, and Liberty to diſpoſe
of her in marriage unto Richard de Camnill his
Son. .

To which Thomas ſucceeded * Nicholas his
Brother, who in 6 Fob. gave to the King one
hundred pounds, as alſo a Courſer and a Paltrey,
for Livery of thoſe Lands in Jreland, whereof
his Father dicd ſeifed. And the ſame year came
to an Aprecment * with the before ſpecified Ri-
chard de Camvill, and Exſtachia, then his Wife,
touching her Dowry out of the Lands of his
Brothcr Thomas de Verdon, her former Husband :
By which it was concluded, That the ſaid Richard
and ſhe, ſhould, inter alia, hold the Mannor of
= arnyam in Com. Buck, and Dethe i Com,

"XN,

Moreover, in 16 Fob. upon the death of Roeſe
de Verdon his Mother, he had * Livery of thoſe
Lands in the County of Lincoln, which were
of her Inheritance : And the ſame year paid
* fifty ſeven marks to the King, upon levying
the Scutage of JPoiRou, in regard he did nor
attend hit thither in that expedition. But in
18 Joh. taking part with the reſt of the Re-
bcllious Barons, his Lands were ſeiſed 7 by ſpe-

|

cial Precepts to the Sheriffs of CUarwick, Let-
ceſter, Staffo2d, Lincoln, Bucks, and Dx-
on, (in which Counties they lay) and put into
the hands of William de Cantilxpe, to hold durin
the Kings pleaſure, Howbeit, upon the dear
of that King (which hapned the ſame year) he
ſubmitted * to his Son King Hexry the Third, and
thereupon had Livery * of them in the firſt yer
of His Reign. :

- Furthermore, in 2 He. 3. he paid two hun-
dred marks to the King, in fatisfaCiion for the
ſum of five hundred marks, in which hi Father
was indebted to the Exchequer, fince he executed
the Office of Sheriff for the Counties of (UJar-
wick and Leiceſter in King Herry the ds
time. In this year alſo, he became one of the
Sureties © to the King, for Robert Marmion the
younger, viz. That he ſhould faithfully keep the
Cafile of Tamwomth ir Com. War. and bear
true alleagiance to the King. And in 5 Hey, 3.
when 9 Wiliam de Fortibas, Earl of Albemarle,

Caſtle at Bttham i» Com. Linc. waſted * the
Countrey thereabouts, he attended ® the King in
perſon, at the ſtorming and taking of that Caſtle;
for which ſervice he obtained the Kings War-
rant for levying Eſcuage upon all the 95,
Fees, which were held of him. And in 11 H.z,
procured a Charter * for Free-Warren in all his
Demeſn Lands at B2andon # Com. W arr.

In 15 Hen. 3. he received Authority i from
the King, to take reaſonable Aid of his Tenants,
towards the payment of his debts. But the ſame
year he died, leaving ifſue one fole Daughter

his Heir, called Robeſe z who in 16 Hen.3. paid
| ſeventy marks for her Releif, and Livery ® of
the Lands of her Inheritance 3 as alſo ®, that ſhe
might not be compelled to marry 3 and, in caſe
ſhe ſhould make choice of an Husband, it tobe
with the Kings approbation. It feems ſhe was
then a Widow, but an Husband ſhe had ® in the
life time of her Father, viz. Theobald le Butiller,
(a Branch of the Noble Family of the Butillers of
Jreland 3 ) for in 9 Yer. 3. the King much de-
firing that ſhe ſhould take to Husþand this Theo-
bald , writ P ſpecially to her, torecommend him
for that purpoſe 3 and likewiſe 9, unto Nicholas
her Father, earneſtly defizing him to perſwade
her theretv.

This Robeſe being ſo great an Heir, ' though ſhe
matched with an Husband of a very Honorable

| Family, did not bear his firname, as it isgeneral-

ly uſual for all married Women to do, but retain-
ed herown 3 and ſo did her Poſterity (as I ſhall
ſhew anon) and inhher Seal * repreſented her
ſelf in the habite of that time, with her own
Paternal Arms upon her Surcoat, viz. Frette, in
her right hand holding a Shield of the like 3 and
in the left hand, another of her Husbands
Arms.

In 18 Hey. 3. ſhe paid f a Fine of ten marks
tothe King, to be exempted from ſending Sol-
diers into (Ulales 3 that being the time when
the King bimſelf marched thither againſt Kichard

Lord Ferrers of ©20by,

Amongſt which Daughters, the Lands of this
great Family, being afterwards divided; Foaxe,

It is obſervable, that this great Lady ( who
held theſe Lands thus in Dower) filed herſelf
in all thoſe Grants* , which ſhe made in her
Widdowhood, Elizabeth de Burgh, Lady of Clare;

Silver: And to the Counteſs of UYtnoll , her
Daughter, two Beds of Taxney. And afterwards,
ſeil. . , .... in Ann. 1360. departed * this life.

Aquila.

Efore I begin to diſcourſe of this Family,
B it will be fit to take notice, that this Sir-

; name, de Aquila, became originally * af-
ſumed from Aquila. in f2v2mandp, of which
an Anceſtor to Giſlebert was ® an inhabitant : as
alſo that the Town had that denomination ©, by
reaſon an Eagle made her neſtin an Oake growing
there, when the Caſtle was firſt in building,

And though I begin with Gilbert, I muſt not
forget, that Exgenulf de Aquila, his Grandfather,
was 4 one of thoſe yaliant Normans, who arrived
here with the renouned Duke William 3 and fight-
ing ſtoutly againſt the Engliſh, in that memorable
Battle near Yaſtings in Suffer (wherein Kin
Harold was ſlain, and Duke William thencefort
Kivg of England) there loſt * his life.

Moreover , that the ſame Exgenulf had iſſue
three Sons 3 viz. Richer f (which I take to. be
the ſatne with Richard ) Giſlebprt 8, and Roger ,
which | Richer married i Judith Daughter of
Richard de Abrincis , | Siſter of Hugb the firſt
Earl of Cheſter, and taking * part with King
William againſt his rebellious Subjects of Yaine,
had the hard hap to be lain ! in that War, in
Ann. 1085. leaving, iſſue two Sons , viz. Giſle-
bert m, and Egenulph ", and Maud a Daughter ,
Wife of ® Robert de Molbray , Earl of J20}-
thumberland 3 which Mazd afterwards, whileſt
he was priſoner, by the permiſſhon of Pope
Paſchal, married ? again to Nigel de Albini, but
at length was divorced.

q This Gilbert was poſſeſſed 4 of (Uleitlet,
in Surrey, in King Wiliam the Conquerors
time : And, upon * that rebellion of the Nor-
mans , ;in Ax#. 1090. (3 Wil, Ryfi ) againſt
Robert Curthoſe their Duke 3 when Roan was in
danger to be loſt, -by the defeRion of. the In-
habitants, he firmly adhered unto him, and
brought * him a Company of ſtout Souldiers, over.
the Bridge on the South part of that \ City.

In that ® War which King William Rufis had
with Philip King of France, in Ann. 1097, (10
Wl. Refi, at which time he waſted the: confines
of Chaumont) he was. taken * priſoner by the
French: But he did not long continue in that re»
ſtraint, as it ſeems; for the following year, af-
ter the King had gotten aunt, he was con-
ſtituted * one of the Governors thereof.

In 3 Hey. 1. he was one &f thoſe that afſified
Yin the deſtruction of that wicked and tirannous
man Robert de Beleſme Earl of viritnr;! and
Sh2ewsbury (the chick ditturber ot the peace
of all England and $202zmandy + ) and out
of the great Devotion he had to the Abby of St.
Ebralf at CItICa, granted the * one moity of his
Town of Aquila thereto; ſo that Richer the
Knight ( whom I take to be his Son ) ſhould
hold it of the Monks of that Houſe 3 the other
moity which they had by the gift of Rcher his
Father, being by them held in Dcmeſne.

This Giſlebert took to Wife * Fuliana Daugh-

her left iſſue ® Richer, Emgennlf, Geffrey and Giſ-
tebert: of which, Exgenalf and Geffrey afterwards
periſhed © in that lamentable Shipwrack with
the Children of King Herry the firſt.

TU In Ann. 1118. (19 Hex, 1. ) this Richer
was one of thoſe who took f up Armes againſt
the King, and endeavoured to reſtore William,
Son of Kobert Cyurthoſe to his Fathers Honors :
and when he {aw the flame of Rebellion much
ſpread in $202mandy, demanded # his Fathers
Lands in England 3 but the King denicd ® him ,
laying *, that his Brothers Geffrey and Exgenulf
(who were then Servants in his Houſe) did ex-
peQ them as their hereditary right. Whereupon
in great diſcontent,he forſook * the Court/then in
J202mandy) and haſtingto K.Lewes of France
offered | to adhere to him againſt King Hevry, if
thoſe his Lands which he had ſo demanded were
not reſtored to him. Whereunto King Lewes an -
{wered ® ; that if he would ſo do, he ſhould
have ſixty ſtout Souldiers, and Almaric de Mont-
fore fifty, to- man his Caſtle of Aquila.

Richer therefore well weighing this Offer, re-
turned to King Herry, and moved ® him again
for thoſe Lands but prevailing not, went ® a-
way very ſad. Howbeit on the morrow , Earl
Rotro, his Uncle, coming to the King 3 and ? car-
neſtly importuning him therein 3 and withal, re-
preſenting 41 to him, that this refuſal might tend
to the increaſing of the Rebellion then begun ,
obtained * his defire: Of which, good ſuc.

1 ceſs, when Richard did hear , he was (o much

joyed that he wentto King Lewes, with thoſe
Forces he had raiſed ; and told © him, that he
could not then perform his promiſe to him 3 for
that King Hemry had now reſtored to him all
thoſe Lands which he claimed 3 ſo that he ought,
therefore, in all juſtice, to be faithful to him,

Unto whom Lewes replied *, Go, «xd I will do
what I can.

Preſently therefore did © Richard go to hisown
Houſe: whom King Lewes ſlowly followed
* with his Army to the Gates of Aquila $ which
being diſcerned by the Inhabitants, they ſtood
upon their guard 3 but (by what chance it was
not known) there hapned a ſuddain Fire ; which,
by the means of the Wind, raged ſo fiercely, that
it Gon conſumed * the whole Town. Kichard
therefore, neceſſitated ” by this misfortune, went

again to King Lewes, and renewing ® his agree-
ment, gave * up his Caſtle to him. But after,
a Robber; and the next year following,

! having plundred > Ciſet, and being followed by

the Neighbours,for the recovery of their goods,he
turned © back upon them with his armed men :
which the people diſcerning, and that there was

for ſuccorz eſpying a Wooden Croſs, they all
fell down before it 3 whereat he became ſo mo-
ved, that he ſuffered © them to go without any
harm.

Put notwithſtanding he ſtood thus reconciled to
King Henry, whereby he repoſſeſſed his paternal
Inhcritance, he again, ſcil, in An. 1127+ (28 H.1.)
joyned f with Kobert de Bzleſme, and other diſ-
contented perſons who took part with William
Son of Curthoſe, beforc-mentioned. And after-
wards aſſociated 8 himſelf with that famous Ar-
cher Rub. rt Boel, as alſv with many other lewd
companions, and did Þ great miſchief in J120}-
mandy , by plundering and robbing. Yet at
length, being alturcd i to King Stephen, by the
ritt of WOUNOUNC 3 he aſſiſted * him with all
his power againſt his Norman Rebells. ;

After this, in his return | to E1gland, with
fifty Souldiers unarmed, he was ſurpriſed ® at
L1ra,by Robert de Beleſme (notwithſtanding they
were 01 peaceable termes) and by him kept pri-
ſoner ® at Buttoll for fix Moneths 3 in which
ſpace Beleſme much waſtcd his Lands, by Plun-
derand Fire : but cre long, he was relcived,
*. and enlarged, through the power of Earl Ko-
tro his Uncle : Howbeit, returning P to his ra-
pines, and rebellious praQtiſes, King Stephex
compelled him to give Hoftages 4 for his better
demcanor, and burnt * his Fort at Bonmokne,
which was the harbor for his plundering crew.

4 There is no doubt , but that Gilbert de
Aquila, Father of this Kichard , had the Caſtle
and Town of JIevenſey, in Suffer, and a
great part ( if not all ) of the Lands belonging

thereto, by the Grant of King Henry the firſt 3 |

which c{cheated to the Crown by the rcbellion
of William Earl of ozeton and Comwall,
( of whom I have poke under thetitle of To2n-
wall ) and of which theſe were part: and that
there upon they were called the Honor of Eagle;
l-evenſcy Caſtile being the head thercof :
For upon the Rebellion of this Richer de A-
guila, in the time of King Hexry the fiſt , his
Lands eſcheating to the King 3 Henry Duke of
J2omanoy, Grandſon and rightful Heir to
King Henry ( by Maxd his Mother) in his com-
polition f with King mo did aſſign * both
Town and Caſtle and whatſoever Richer de
Aquila had of the Honor of [Dgvenſey C for thoſe
are the words) unto William Son of that King,
But this Willam, afterwards (urrendring ® them
(together with J202wiſh )in An. 1154-(4 H.2.)
unto King Hemwy, upon the reſtitution * of all
thoſe Lands which were his Father Stephen's
betore he was King of Englandz that King
( viz, Her. 2, ) gave them again unto this our
Richard de Aquila, as it ſcems; for, that he was
poſſeſſed of them, is manifeſt from theſe follow-
ing inſtances.

Firſt, That in 5 Steph. he gave * one mark
and an half of Gold, for Licenſe to perform cer-
tain Covenants made betwixt him, and his Te-
nants in DuſſerL,

Secondly, That in 12 Her. 2. upon colleion
of the Aid for marrying of the Kings Daughter,
he then certihed ?, that he held thirty five Knights
Fees and an half , of which be had been enfcof-
fed, in the time of King Henry the furſt.

Thirdly , That he gave * to the Monks of

as alſo herbage in his Foreſt, with many other

2 the Tithes of his Lordſhip and Caſile of ]Je-

veneſel, and other Lands of great value jn that *

County.

This Ricberivs in 10 Her. 2. was * one of
thoſe temporal Lords, who came to an accord
with the King, touching their antient rights and
liberties. And gave ® to the Knights Hoſpita-

lars, his Lands of Tolt , and Colfo2d; and
his Woods at CUlinfo2D 2 and departed © this «

life, in Ann. 1176. (22 Hen. 2.)

To whom ſucceeded Gilbert, whoinGR. t.

paid 9 twenty one pounds ſeven ſhillings ſix pence,

tor his Knights Fees in SUſler, upon the Scu- -

tage then collected for the Redemption of King
Kichard, |

In $ Ric. 1, he was one of thoſe, who had
e ſpecial diſcharges for the third Scutage of
No: nandy-

Moreover, he confirmed * to the Canons of

Begeham, in Dullrr, all the Lands ro them |

granted by Ralph de Dene, and Robert de Dene,
his Son and Heir, founders of that Abby ( be-

ing of his ® Fee) and this for the health of the

Soul of Richer his Father, Edeline his Mother ,
and Kicher his Brother : unto which Grant Emge-

nulf Þ (an Eccleliaſtick perſon) his Brother, was
a Witneſs.

He took to Wife i... .. Siſter * to William +

Earl Warren and died in J[202mandy, in the
ſixth year of King Fobn, as it ſeems; for in
that year the King granted ' to the Earl of
Arundell, the cuſtody of all his Lands and
Fees in Suſſer 3 as alſo all the Lands of his
Mother. But thortly after 3 viz. in 9 Fob. Wil-
liam Earl Warren gave ® three hundied marks
for the cuſtody of the fame Lands, to the uſe
of his Siſter, Widdow to the ſaid Gilbert.

To this Gtbere , laſt mentioned , ſucceeded
" another Gilbert,,who in 11 Hey, 3. gave a Fine
* of five hundred marks, for livery of his Lands:
Which Gilbert founded P the Priory of Mt-

Yol. 2, 119d

charjham in Suſter, for the health of his Soul, has. 10

and the Soul of T/abel his Wife; as alſo ſor the
Souls of his Children, Brothers, and Siſters.
What Children he had, I have not ſeen ; but
certain it is, that he was dead 4 in 29 Hen. 3.
and that Peter de Savey (the Queens Uncle) had
then the cuſtody of his ” Heir.
* It is affirmed by ſome £; that, for paſſing in-
to I202mandy, without the Kings Licenſe, he
forfeited all his Lands : Which is probable c-
nough; for it appears that in 19 Hen. 3, the
King granted * this Honor with all its appurs
tenances unto Gz/bert Mareſhal Earl of 19em-
broke. And in z5 Hen. 3, beſtowed it * on
Peter de $avoy, before-mentioned, for his better
ſupport 3 to hold, only, during pleaſure. More-
over, that in the 3o of his Reign, he beſtow-
ed %'on him the Inheritance thereof , together

with the Caſtle of Peveneſel, and its appur-
tenances. |

But afterwards, ſcil. iri 53 Hee. 3. this whole
Honor was = to Prince Edward and his Heirs,
Kings of England; o that it ſhould never be

frered from the Crown.

Heirs for ever, of the Baronics of S. Saviour 4e *

Uicount, Daunvbers and Dongebill 3 as allo of

the Lands and Poffclſions of Godfrey de Harecurt
deceaſed, which King Edward had at that time in
France, by the grant of the faid Godfrey. Atter
which he built * the Cafile of S. Savionrs-

In 41 E. 3. this Sir Fobn Chandos accompanied

JT: the tenth year of 1/;lliam the Conqueror,

Rohert de Umfranvill Knight, Lord = of

Toures and Wian 3 otherwiſe called > Robert
with the Beard, being a Kinſman < to that King,
obtained trom him a grant 4 of the Lordfhip,
Vallcy,and Foreſt of Riddeſdale, in Com. Northumb.
with all the Caſtles, Mannors, Lands, Woods, Pa-
ſtures, Waters, Pools, and Royal Franchiles ; which
were formerly poſſeſſed by Mildred the Son of
Akman, late Lord of Riddefoale, and which came
to that King upon his Conqueſt of England; to
hold, by the ſervice of defending that part of the
Country forever, from Enemies and Wolves, with
that Sword which King William had by his fide
when he centred Nozthumberland. By that grant
he had likewiſe authority for holding, governing,
granting, exerciſing, hearing, determining, and

| judging in all Pleas of the Crown, as well as 0-

thers, hapning within the PrecinQs of Kiddeſoale,
by any proper Officers for the time being, accoid-
ing tothe Laws and Cuſtoms of the Realm.

Next after this Robert, I find mention of Gil-
bert de Unframiill; who in the time of King
Henry the Fiſt, gave © a Rent of xxi) x. per aunum, , Moruf. kts
Iuing out of Aifſe, in Com. Somerſ. unto the - whe
Monks of Tetwkesburp for the Soul of his Wife. *

And in 5 Steph. of another f, Robert de Un-
franvill, in Com. Northumb. After him, upon col-
leCtion of the Scutage levyed in 8 Hen. 3+ of ® Odr-
nell de Umfranvill; which Odonell, in 18 Hen. 2+
paid xl s. upon the Afeſsment h of the Scutage on
thoſe, who ſent not in their Certificates of the Fees
they held. Of this Odoxell, a Monk of Tine-
mouth grievouſly exclaimed i, about that time, for tas.
his exations upon his Neighbours, to repair the _
roof of his Caſile of Pudhou : which he preſumed 1b.»
todo; partly, becauſe he was the chicf perſon in
that County ; and partly through the intereſt he
had at Court, by a great man, who had marricd his
Daughter. |

In 20 Hen. 2+ his Caſtle of Herbotill was taken
k by the Scots and his Caſtle of Pzudhou Þc- | tw.co
ſieged |; but Robert de Stmtevile then Sheriff of Von bw
Jork ſhire , by the belp of ſome Northern Barons, » (pda

To whom ſucceeded Robers © his Son and Heir.

in 6 R. 1. gave © one hundred pounds to the King, |
for remitting that Fine which he had made with
the Biſhop of Durbam, when the County of Noz-
thumberland was in that Biſhop's hand and that
he might enjoy the King's favour, though he did |
not go into Jreland, in that expedition then made |

{ecure his fidelity 3 fo that, in calc he ſhould thence- |
forth tranſgrels, all to be forteitcd, and his body

great Obligation 3 that, in 17 Joh# when the Ba-

the Sheriff of Northumb. to empannel a Jury of
twelve Knights ot that County, to view it : and,
having {o done, to demoliſh whatloever had been
added thereto, in point of fortification lance the

In the time of this Richard, it was by Inquiliti-

Fees, and an halt, as all his Anceltors had done,

Dinan.

(who being * a valiant Souldicr, waſted * all
the Marches betwixt Cheſter and * Wount-
Gilbert) King William the Conqueror came © to
Sh:ewsburp, and gave 9 to Roger de Montgomery,
the Exrldom of Sbzewsbury. Which Roger having

another at Dinan, fince called Ludlow » which
Caſtle, with the whole Territory and Honour of

Co2b? 3 after that Robert de Beleſme (fon to Earl
Roger) was for his Treaſon baniſhed by King Henry
the Firſt z were by him beſtowed i on one Fouke his

Knight ; thereupon called Foxuke de Dinan.
Whcreupon, betwixt this Forke, and Walter de

Laci then Lord of Ewyas, there hapned * great

conteſts, and many skirmiſhes : in which, though

| Laci, and Ernald de Liſle his Knight, were aftcr-

wards taken and carricd Priſoners to Dinan : yet,
by the means of a certain Damoſcl, called Marian
de Brauer, they obtained their liberty ® again, and
were made Friends»

It is (aid " that this Foxke de Dinan had a daugh-
ter called Hawyſe, who became the Witc of Foxke
de Brun, the ſon of Guarine de Metz , which Foxke
De Brux enjoyed 9 Abberburp, with the Territory
adjacent, by the gift of King William.

It is alſo ſaid ?, that by the means of the before»
ſpecified Marian, Ernald de Liſle entred into Di-
nan in the abſence of Foxke 3 and having ſo done,
contrary to her mind, gained the Town: and
Caſtle for Laci his Maier 3 and that for reverge of
this Treachery, ſhe murdered him in his bed. More-

SC _—_—C

over, that 9 Foxke diſcerning this his Caſtle thus

poſſeſſed by Laci, came with all his power, and ;

belieged it; and that thereupon, Yrword Dragan
Prince of @ales, marched thich:r with ewenty
thouſand men, and took him Prifoner , and that
he dclivercd him upto King Herry by the hands
of Laci. So that Hamwyſe and Siby!l, bis daugi-
ters, were © by this mcans diſherited, and Lacs bc-
came * Lord of Dpnan.

But in this Narrative there is doubtleſs a great
miſtake: tor by the authority of Record it ap-
pears u, that it was Foſce de Dynan, who had thole
two daughters; viz. Hawyſe and Sibyll, and that
Hawyſe was the Wite of Fulke Fitzwaryne ( as
abovefaid) and Sibyll of ++ +: + Plugenate.

q Another Family there was alto of this name,
of which I ſhall (inthe next place) give what ac-
count I can : the firſt whereot 1 find mention be-
ing Alan de Dynant, by parentage * of Britauny in

| France 3 who, for ? his Valour in tighting with

the King of France his Champion, betwixt Grſozz
and Erie, had the Lordſhip of 1Burtcn, in Com
Norths. given him * by King Henry the Fiilt.

About this time (ſcil. 1 Edw. 5.) I mect with

Baillol.

N the time of William Rufus, Guy de Baillol
|| was enfeoffed # by that King of the Barony of
151well in Nozthumberland. VN

This Guy gave * to the Abbey of S. Maries 1n
Pozk, the Church of Stokeslep, and one Carucate
of Land 3 the Church of @kaintune and two Bo-
vates;z as alſo the Church of Gainſozd (in the
Pithoprick) but was prohibited © to hunt in the
Foreſts belonging to the Biſhop of Durham.

The next was Bernard Baliol (ſon of Guy) who,

in 3 Steph. upon 4 that great Invaſion by the
' Scots, met at Thzefc, through © the inſtance of that
«- Reverend Prelate Thurſtan Archbiſhop of ek,
. with other of the Northern Batons and tnere

taking into conſideration . what rcfiſtance ſhoutd
be made againſt them, was ſent *f thence (with
Robert de Brus) unto David King of Scotland
then advanced with his Army to the Banks of
Teiſe, to perſwade his retreat , but not prevail-
ing, (being a perſon moſt expert in Arms) alfilicd

all he could in raiſing ſirength to oppole him |

and at length ſhared in the honour of that glo-
rious Victory , which the Engliſh , through the
cxcmplary valour of William Earl of Albemarle,
and other brave men oft thoſe parts, obtained
near Nozth-Alverton, in that memorable Batte|
tought upon the xi'h Cal. of September, commonly
called the Battel of the Standard , whereot in my
diſcourſe of that Earl I have more tully (poke.

And after this adhering to King Stephen in his
greatcli Troubles, was with him taken & priſoner
in the Battel of Lii.coln, A#- 1142+ (7 Steph.)
by the Earls of Glouceſter and Cheſter, Generals
ot that Army, then railcd on the bchalt of Maxd
the Empreſs. |

In 14 Hen. 2+ he paid ' a Fine of twenty pounds
to the King , becaule he did not ccrtifie what
Knights Fees he then held (as was generally re-
quircd ; ) and morcover, within two years alter,

-.. ».. £avck two hundred pounds for rcliitution of his

Lands which had been thercupon feilcd,

This Bernard was he who hrit Founded that
ſirong Calile on the bank of Teiſe , thence called
1Bernard-Caſtle as cradition reports.

Upon that incurſion of the Scots in 20 Hen. 2.
they bcing, advanced to Alnwpke, and having be-
licged | that great Fronticr-Caſile there y he again

, put himiclt in Arms; and joyning * with Robert
& Stutevile, and other of the Barons thercabouts,
+ haſfied » with all ſpeed to the relict thercot ; and

when ® it was adviſcd that they ſhould tiop their
march, in regard of a thick Fog which obſcured
their paſſage 3 he ſaid ", Lee them ftay that will,
T am reſolved io go on, though none follow me, rather
thin diſhonour my ſelf by ſtaying here. By whole
cxample, going couragioully torward , they fſur-
Priſed the Enemy and in a ſhort skirmiſh took
q the King himſclf, whom they ſent priſoner * to
the Calile of Richmont.

This Beraard, by the conſcnt of Tngelram his
Son, gave \ to the Knights Templars titicen pound
Lands (fer Annum ) lying, 10 Wiedelee, a mcm-

. ber of Yichen, in Eſſex, King Stephen confirming

' the Grant. He alſo beſtowed » on the Monks of

- S. Maries Abbey at Pozk, the Church of Gainfozd,

with the Churches of Barnard-Caſtle and Wid-
dleton, and two Ox-gangs of Land in Biddleton,
And to the Monks of Kiebauly , he gave * his

beſides his fiſhing of Newbus 3 which he beltow-

To him ſucceeded Emftace de Bail!o}, who gave
2 one hundred pounds tor Licenlc to marry the
Widow of Kobert Fitz-Piers, and ® titty Marks to
have Livery ot the Lordlhip ot Were.

In 1 Fob. he' paid © two hundred marks Fine,
in regard he obcycd not the King's Precept tor
going beyond-Sca in his fervicez and in 2 Foh.
paid 4 one hundred and twenty Marks more then
in arrcar from him, for the tirti and (econd Scus
tage of King Ric. 1+

This Exſtace joyncd with Bernard his Father in
the giit of © (dehozne to the Knights Holpi-
tallars.

The next was Hyagh de Baillol (fon of * Exftace)
who was certified f to hold the Barony of Bitvell
ot the King, by the ſervice of five Knights Fees
and.to find thirty Souldicrs tor the guard of New-
Caſtle upon Tine, as his Anceltors had donc,trom
the time of King Wilkam Rufus, by whom they
were cntcottcd ot that Barony, as the Record cx-
preficth. He allo held * the Lordſhip of Picbe
in Eſſex, in Capite of the King, as an Augmentati-
on of his Barony, by the gitt " ot King Hen. 2+
and (crvice of two Knights Fees.

Upon levying the Scutage ot Wales in 13 Foh.
he anſwered i tor thirty Knights Fees; and in
17 Foh.tiood in luch favour with the King, that
hc obtained a Grant * of the Lands of Richard de
Unfranvill, in Com- Rotel. as allo the Caſtle of
DÞwernelton (in Po:klbire)) and other the Lands
of Robert de Meiſnell- Andin 18 Foh. was joyncd
| with Philzp de Halccotes, in detcnce of the Nor-
thern paris of Teiſe towards Scotland. More-
over, when ® the King of Scots had fubjugatcd all
Nozthumberland, on the bchalt oft Lewes King of
France (whom thc Barons had callcd in to thcis
aid) this Hagh by the help of that Philip, ſtoutly
held out all the Caſtles in that Tract 3 and in par-
ticular his own (viz. Bernard-Caftle) where Ex-
ftace de Veſci (who had married the King of Scots
Sittcr) coming with King Alexander to the Sicge
of it, was ® flainz his Brothcr Bernard allo ad-
hcring * to the King in thoſe his Troubles.

burne-Eaſt, and his Hcirs 3 and the Rent of xi) d.
per Annum, iſſuing out of the Mannor-houſe of
GE:t-Swpnbozne.

Certain it is that he benefited q himſelf not a
little in thoſe troubleſome Timcs of King Fobn's
Reign (being then for the King ) for when all
was at quiet, at the entrance of King Hewry the
Third, he could * not torbear his wonted courle of
plundering. It ſeems he was alſo ſerviccable to

Homage to the King, had Livery * of all che
Lands which he held of her Inheritance, in the

Upon the death of Helewiſe, the Wife of this

alterwards had to Wite Agnes, the ſecond daugh-

France, as here in England, he had a Grant? of
the Wardſhip of William de Waſſingle, inſtead of
the ſum of two hundred Marks, which the King
had bettowed on him for that reſpec.

Inq 45, 46, and 48 Hem. 3. he under-went the 4 Aot-Piple

poled his uſurped dominion at the inſtigation of the

deavouring * to Beliege Walingived, where the

Thence he tollowed the King to < Winchbelter,
and beat 4 himoff the making a Cattle which he

| intended there, and ſhortly after chat failed © into
- Nozmandy 3 where tinding f that Earl Geffrey had

reduced that Country, and was preparing to march

RebeHon 3 he prevWled © with him to come into
England with all his power, and reſcue the King-
dom (tis Wife and Children's Inheritance) out of
an Ufurpers hands. Whereupon , with Henry his
$on, and ſome of his choicelt Souldicrs, they
landed ' at Marham.

Howbeit, when they came thither, this our Earl
of Glouceſter receiving Advertilement * that
King Stephen had then beleagured his Silter (the
Empreſs) at Djfozd 3 deſigning | to divert him,
he forthwith laid Siege ® to the Caſtle at Wars

tended to make a Garrifon of the Nunnery at
Wilton, to prevent the Excurſions of thoſe in
Saligbury who favoured the Empreſs 3 he * raiſed
all the power he conld; and upon the firſt day of
July, im the evening, came thither, and fet © fire on

Which pat the King in fuch a fright (who

b Bid, 1359, Was then in the Nunnery) that he left Þ Ins Plate

And when the Earl of Anjeu, having etlcd

Eſides the Family of S. Fobn of Baſing, 1n
B Com. Sutht. there was another of that name

in Com. Oxon. of which, the firſt mention
I find, is in 13 Hen. 1. where Thomas de S. Jobn

his Lands called Kugge, lying in Standiſch. To

After this 3 viz. © in 13 Hew- 2+ I find another

N the time of Henry the Firſt, Hugh I ac took

to Wife 2 Emme the Daughter (and at length

Heir) of Baldwin Fitz-Gilbert, by Adbelidis

Baldwin was Founder © of the Priories of Bzunne

This Hugh gave f the Lordſhip of Wilesfozd, in

whereupon, ſending part of their Covent thither,
they made it a Cell to that great Abbey.

To him ſucceeded Baldwin his Son and Heir ;
who had that Chriſtian-name from Baldwin Fitz
Gilbert, his Grand-father by the Mother. In 12
Hen. 2. upon the aſſeſſing of that Aid, then levycd
for marrying the King's Daughter, this Baldwin

But in 3 Fob. he died; whereupon Baldwin his

Nozmandp z but with condition 4, that he ſhould

About this time there bcing a ſuit Þ commenced

with Jeane his Wite, procured a Grant | from the
King, of the Lands which belonged to Margaret

uſed to raiſe new Forces for the farther tzyal of the
Muec of thoſe their great conteſts by another Bat.

ſoner by Prince Edward, who, by a ſpeedy march
in the night from Wozceſter, did ſo ſurpriſe

How he made his eſcape afterwards, I have not
ſeen: but the farther account which I find of
him, is; that he was one of choſe, who after the
Battel of Evetþam made head again *, with Ro.
bert Earl Ferrers, in Derbyſhire 3 and was | with
him in the Battcl of Cheſterfield. Whence ( though

Ferrers had the fate to be there taken ®, and ma- of.

ln 13 Fob. this Walter upon colle&ion of the

two Knights Fees, which were of the honour of
Wardon 3 his Barony conſiſting ® of nine Knights
Fees. But by reaſon that none of his Poſterity
had ſummons to Parliament, I ſhall not purlue
their Story any further.

T indale.

N the time of King Henry the Firſt, there was

I one of this name who then held 2 the Barony

of Langelep, in Com. Northumb. by the ler-
vice of one Knights Fee.

To whom ſucceeded Adam: which Adam in

6 Ric. 1. paying one hundred pounds for his Relief,

x. had Livery Þ of his Lands; and lett Iflue © two

Daughters and Heirs 3 viz. Philippa, who became
the Wite 4 of Adam de Bolteby, Son and Heir ot
Nicholas de Boltcby, and

es

Wolverton.

Bout the latter end of King Henry the
A Firſt's Reign, Hamon the Son of Menfelin,

being Lord of Wolverton (near Stonp*-
Stratfozd, in Com. Buck.) gave © Chaldewerdburp
to the Knights Templars: and, with the conlent
b of Hamon his Son, beſtowed © on the Monks of
L uffield, in Come Northe. the Tithe of all the Bread
{pent in his houſe 3 upon what place ſoever, on his

own Land, he ſhould happen to be.

In 12 Hey. 2. upon © the aſſeſsment of that Aid
then levyed for marrying the King's: Daughter,
this Hamon certified © that he had fifteen Knights

Fees, whercof eleven and an halt were, de veteri Fes

off amento : And, in 14 Hen. 2- upon collction/of
that Aid, paid f ten pounds for them 5 which
Fees, and in what particular placcs they Jay, are
expreſi in the Clauſe-Roll of 14 Edw.1- Dis 6 in
$thedula. |

| Reliding near the Foreſt, he was over bold in
frelpalling there , for which; in 22 Hen, 2+ bc paid

|

one hundred pounds, but ſhortly atter he died :
for in 31 Hen. 2., Hamon his Soh gave two hun-
dred Marks tor Livery of his Lands, This Hamon
was ' paternally allied to the Earl Warren; and
Nephew to William Mandxit (Baron of Yanflap)
by the Mother. Being k twenty years of age in
32 Hens 2. and in | Ward, he was then marricd
= by the King's appointment.

In 6 Ric. 1. with Robert de Bullers, he gave
" three hundred Marks tor their Purparties of the
Lands of William and Robert Trasbut : and thc
lame year attcnded 9 the King in his Expedition
into Nozmandp.

To him ſucceeded William , called * William
the Son of Hamon of Wolverinton. Which Wil-
liam ratified 1 the Grant made by his Father to the
Monks of Luffiela, of the Church of Thoznburgh 3
and dicd * in Anuo 1248. (31 Hen. 3+) leaving
Alan his Brother and Heir : who paying * one

To whom ſucceeded Fohn * his Son and Heir 3
which Fobn, in 34 Hen. 3. paid 7 one hundred

realon that neither he, nor any of his Deſcendents
had {ummons to Parliament, 1 ſhall not make far-
ther enquiry after then.

In 14 Edw- 3- upon advertiſement that the
Scots intended another Invaſion, he received a
ſtrait command ® from the King, dated 25 Sept. |
that he ſhould forthwith repair to his Cafile of
Þamlake, and there remain the whole enſuing
Winter with all his men, fitly arrayed for the de-
fence of thoſe Northern parts: And in 16 Edw. 3.
the King purpoſing ? an Expedition into France
with a Royal Army, ſent his Letters 4 unto this
William (amongſt others) bearing date 20 Decem-
ber, to furniſh him with ewenty men at Arms,
and twenty Archers well arrayed z who were to
take ſhipping at Poztſmouth upon the firſt of
March, then next enſuing, upon ſuch terms as the
King ſhould' agree with others that had the like
Letters.

At which time being in Bzitanny, after {ome
fruitleſs r afſaults made upon the City ot Nantes,
he was f one of thoſe whom the King left there
with ſix hundred men at Arms, and two hundred
Archers to .maintain the Siege. ;

And in 17 Edw. 3. bad command * to provide
the like number of men at Arms, and Archers,
tor thoſe Wars of France.

This William was ſummoned » to Parliament
inthe 11, 12, 13, 143 15, 16, 17, 18 and 20 of
Edw. 2.- So likewiſe to all the Parliaments of King
Edward the Third, from the firſt, to the tixteenth
year of his Reign incluſive: and took to Wite *
Margery, the eldelt of the Siſters and Coheirs of
Giles de Badleſmere (of Ledes-Caſtle 10 Kenr)
a great Baron of-that time, by whom he had Ifſuc
) two Sonsz viz. Wiliam and Thomas, and two
Daughters, Margaret and Maxde: and departing
? this life the 16 of Febrmary, in the year 1342+
(17 Edw. 3.) was buried 2 in the Priory of Rirk*
bam, under a fair Tomb of Stone, on the South-
lide the high Altarz leaving William his Son and
Heir then * ſixteen years of age-

The Lands of his own Inheritance, whereof he
died ſeilcd, being as followeth; viz- © the Caſtle
and Mannor of Yelmeflep, with the Magnors of
Þarum, Þow.fom, Garton, and Lynton, in Pozk-
lþire 3 which he held by the ſervice of one Ba-
r0ny : as alſo the Mannors of @eton, Stozthtwayt,
and Kos in Yolderneſs, in the ſame County.
The Caſtle and Mannor of Welboir,. with the
Mannors of Uffington, Freſton, Boften, and
Pelton, in Com. Linc. Kedempld, and Boteleſ-
fs2d, in Com: Leic. Likewiſe one hundred and hity
Marks yearly Rent, iſſuing out of the City of
Lincoln, and fifty Marks out of thc City of Pozk,
until the King ſhould ſettle Lands of three hun-
dred Marks pcr Annum value, in conlideration of
the Caſtle of Werke z which be the (aid Wil-
liam had granicd unto the King , as is before
obſerved,

The Lands which were of the Inheritance *
ot Margery his Wite, being theſe, viz. the
Mannor ot @deriy in @hzopfhire > the Man-
nors of Chilham, Hoti field, and zaulringto,
in Kent 3 the moity of che Mannor of Tarent-

]

Which Margery had for her Dowry theſe Lands

following affigned © unco her; viz. the Mannors +

lesfozd, in Com. Leic. Kog in Polderneſs, Garton,
with its members, viz. Noztb-Dalton, Naburn,

divers Tenements and Rents in Wartre, Wethel-
burne, Perlethozpe,and Folkertbozpe, belonging
to thoſe Mannors of @tton and @tczletbwayre.

Touching Margaret, one of his Daughters, I find
f that in 6 Edw. 3. there were certain Covenants
made betwixt him, and Sir Edward de Bobun,
(Brother ® to William de Bobun, Earl of Sozth-
bampton) viz. That he the ſaid Edward ſhould
take her to Wife, and enfcoffe her of the Mannors
of Upabene, in the County of Wtits: or of
two hundred Marks per Annum Land , to hold
during; her life.

And now, before I proceed farther, I ſhall ſay
ſomething of Fobn, the younger Brother of the lalt
mentioned William ; in regard he was a perſon
lo eminent in his time.

- This Fohn being of the party of Queen Iſabell,
and thoſe other, whom the King, at the inſtiga-
tion of the Spenſeys, had baniſhed , landed * with
her and the Prince (who had then, for the better
carrying on their deſigns , made a Contract with
Philippa, Daughter to the Earl of Benault)-at
Ppsgwich, on the tenth Calends of Otiober, 20
Eadw. 2. And being likewiſe in great favour with
the young King, upon the depolal of Edward the

cond 3 was not only conſtituted * Steward of his
houſhold in the firſt year of his Reignz but im-
ployed | into @cotland in that Expedition made
thither the ſame year (his Brother Thomas being
m alſo with him in that (crvice:) and moreover
was " one of thoſe 12 Lords, by whom it was rc-

ſolved, the Kivg ( being young ) ſhould be go- '

verned.

In 2 Edw. 3. he was made Governour ® of
Somerton-Caſtle in Lincolnſhire. In 5 Ed. 3.
he was P again in Scotland with his Father upon
the King's ſervice. Soalſo 4 in g Ed. 3.

In io Edw. 3. he was conſtituted Admiral r of
the Seas, from the River of Thames Northwards.
In 11 Edw. 3+ he lcerved © the King in Gaſteigne 3
and the fame year had a Charter t for Free-warren
grantcd to him, in all his Demeſn Lands at Touj-
tozd, TUlarfop, and Afton, in Com. Nott. and in
Yoznlegh and Poznton, in Com. Oxon. as alſo to
hunt the Fox, Wolf, Hare, and Cat, throughout the
King's Forclt of Notingbamtþire-

And in 12 E. 3- upon his Pctition ® tothe King
in Parliament ; whereby he repreſented the charge
he had been at, in arraying of men in divers parts
of the Realm whilii he was Admiral; command
was given * to the Lord Treaſurer, and Barons of
the King's Exchequer, to make him allowance for
the ſame.

In that year alſo he was again imploycd ? be-
yond the Seas in the King's ſervice, and had ſum-
mons * to Parliament from 1 Ed. 3. until the
cleventh of that King's Reign inclufive : but de-
parted 2 this life before the end thereof, without
any Ifue of his body ; fo that Williem de Rot his
ctder Brother, became * his Heir, bcing then fifty
years of age. The Lands whercot he dicd ſcifcd,

that = divers of them flew thoſe of their own
party, and many ® were taken priſoners, and moſt
barbarouſly uſed. But this vile and unworthy
at was not long unrevenged ; for ſhortly after
King Edward made laughter © of no lels than ten
thouſand and fifty three of the Scots, in the Battel
ot Punbar.

Thus far the Narrative of our Hiſtorian, touch-
ing the aQRings of this Robert de Ros at that time :
but thereunto I have ſome particulars to add from
another 4 authority z viz, that he then marching
in the Scots guy with Banners diſplayed, was
with them at burning the Town of Werke 3 and
afterwards joyned himſelf unto William Woaleys,
that famous General of the Scots ; and committed
great ſpoil upon the King's Subjects in thoſe Nor-
thern parts.

All that I have ſeen farthzr of him is, that he
married © Margaret, one of the foir Siſters and
Heirs to Pcter de Brus of Skelton (a great Baron
in the North) but of his Iflue, the Records do
ſomewhat differ : for by one f Inquilition it is
found, that ſhe had a Son called William de Rog,
to whom ſhe gave the Caſtle of Kendall (and from
whom the Roſſes of Kendall deſcended: ) and by
another, that he had Iſſue two Daughters, who
were Heirs to their Mother's Inheritance; viz.
Margaret the Wife of John Salvain, and Iſabell
the Wife of Fbbn de. Knock : which Tſabell lived
not long, as 1 guels ; for it is evident , that in the
ſixth year of Edward the Second, Margaret called
her felf the daughter and heir to this Robert de
Ros of Werkez and humbly acknowlcdging to
| the King the rebellious actions of her Father,
withal reprcſunted to him, that he the (aid Robert,
by the conſent of thoſe of the Nobility, and 0-
thers, who were then with the King. in @cotland
did come to an accord with fobn Comyn ot Bade-
nagh, for himſelf, and fuch who were\ with him.
in Arms; which was, that they ſhould be ſafe as
tolife and member, free from impriſonment, and
diſheriſon of their Eſtates ; as allo that their Heirs
(then within age) ſhould: enjoy the like terms, as
to their lives, limbs, freedom from impriſonment,
and diſhcriſon. Moreover, that ſhe the ſaid Mar-

garet was then within age 3 and accordivg-to the

tenor of that Agreement, ought to take benchit of
the ſame Articles. Whereupon the King did by
his Letters Patents pardon * the tortciturcs of the
{a1d Robert de Kos her Father, and granted that her
rcqucit.

Ros of Kendall.

Now come to that Branch of this Family,
| which had their (ſeat at Kendall in Weſtmer-
land : where, firſt, I am to take notice, that
the Intereſt they had there, was through the right

. of Margaret before-mentioned 3 ſhe being 2 one

ot the Sitters and Coheirs to*Peter de Bras, of

X Skelton-Caftle in Pozk{bire, Son Þ of Peter and

Helewifia his wife, Sitter < and Heir to William de

[: 7 Hen. 1- Geffrey Ridell being an Eminent
and Learned Perlon, upon © that great Con-
trovertie then hapning betwixt Osbert at that
time Sheriff of Pozkibire, and the Church of
S. Wilfrid at Ripon, touching the Priviledge
ot SanQtuary there, whereot the Sheriff would
b not allow , was by ſpecial Commillion imploy-
ed, together with Robert Biſhop ot Lincoln,
Raphbe Baſſet, Rapbe de M:ſchines, and Peter de
Valoines, to hear and determine therein z who
gave 4 judgment for the Church, And not long
atter that, growing famous for his knowledge in
the Laws, ſucceeded the fame Raphe Baſſet in that
great Othce of Juſtice © of England.

But in 20 Hen.1- upon f the return of K. Henry
out of Ne2manidy, where Prince William his cldceit
Son (then eighteen years of age) had in teftimony
ot the peoplcs obedience, received ® their Homage
and Fealty by his Fath<r's appointment; being
" 1n the Ship with that Prince, and ſome other ot
the King's Children, as allo divers ot the Nobi-
lity, he periſhed * with them through the violence
of a (udden Tempett, which ſplit the Ship near to
the Port of Barbaflote 3 leaving Iſſue * by Geva

name) Earl of Cheſter, Foundr.f3 * of the Priory

This laſt mentioned Fobs, in 42 Edw. 3. (being |

then Þ a Knight) was | in the Wars of France,
and of the Retinue * with Lionel Duke of Cla-
rence. So likewiſe | in 45 Edw- 3- and in 47
Edw. 3- having married ® Mande, the Daughter of
Robert de Holand, Son of Robert de Holand Knight,
deccaſed, Couſin » and Heir to the (aid Sir Robert,
doing his Homage, had Livery ® of the Lands of
her Inheritance. |

In 48 Edw. 3- this Fobn having been ® again
in the Wars of France, and of the Retinue 4 of
Edmund Mortimer Earl of Warche ; was the next
year (viz." 49 Edw. 3.) fummoned © to Parlia-
ment. And in 50 Edw. 3. conſtituted t Governour
of the Caſtle of Banelyngham, in France : allo
in 3 Ric. 2. imployed » into Ireland upon the
King's ſpecial ſervice.

But fome years after this, much diſcontent *
ariſing amongſt divers of the Nobility, by reaſon
that the King was wholly ſwayed by Robert de
Vere, Duke of Jreland, and fome others, to the
great ſcandal of the Government, the Duke of
Glouceſter ( viz- Thomas of Wodfloke ) and his
party, raiſing whet Forces they could, appeared
in Arms ' near London, at Biſbops»wvoed, Wal-
tham, Þackney, and other places; whence they
ſent * this Fobn Lord Lovell, with the Archbiſhop
of Pozk (and others) to' the King requiring 2,
that he ſhould deliver up thoſe, by whoſe evil
Counſel he had been thus ſeduced.

Howbeit, at length it ſo hapned that this Lord

. Lovell fell off from them to the King 3 being one

of thoſe whom they expelled < the Court, whilſt
they were thus predominant. And in 18 Ric. 2+
attending 4 him into Jreland, ſo far inlinuated

. himſelf into his eſteem, as that in 22 Ric. 2+ he
was again imployed © into that Realm in his

ſervice.
But after this T have not feen any thing farther

_ memorable of him, than that he gave * to the

Canons of Warlebergh, in Com. Wilsſ. certain
Lands in Ponton, Burbach, and Weſt-Gzairon
and that upon the morrow next enſuing the Feaſt
of S. Fames the Apoſtle, Arno 1408. (9 Hen. 4.)
by the title ® of Fobn Lord Lovell, and Holand, he
made h his Teſtament at Mardour»Caltle, in Com.
Wiltſ. whereby he bequeathed his Body ro Burial
in the Church of the Hoſpital of Saint Fob at
1B:acklep, in Com. North**** and gave thereunto a
Veſtment of Black, adorned with Stars of Gold :

appertaining of the fame ſute and colour ;appoint-
ing Maude his Wife to dilpoſe of part of his
Goods for the health of his Soul; whom, together
with John his Son, then a Knight, Sir Humphrey
Stafford Knight, and ſome others, he conſtituted
his Executors.

The day of his death, I cannot certainly tell,
but it was not long after ; for the Probate i of that
his Teſtament bears date the twelfth of September
following 3 the Lands whereof he died ſciſed be-

in Com. Northumb. forſcited to the Crown by the
Rebcllion of Koger Lord Clifford, (and formerly
beſtowed on Andrew de Harcla, but forfeited like-
wiſe by him) to hold during his life.

Which Andrew, notwithſtatding, that by the
great favour of King Edward,he had been advanced
" to the Earldom of Carliflez yet afterwards
taking part ® moſt traiterouſly with the Scots, he
was (urpriſed ? by this Anthony Lord Lacie, and
ſent 1 up to London 3 where being degraded *t of
his Honour, he had ſentence. f of death. More-
over in 1 Edw. 3. this Anthony was again made
Governour * of the Caſtle and Town of Carliſle.

- Solikewiſc ® in 2 Edw. 3. Furthermore,in 5 Edw.3.

there being divers Hoſtile Incurſions * made by the

- Scots upou the Marches; to retaliate thoſe inju-
* ries, he centred ? Scetland, and by tire and plun-

Which Thomas baving married * Margaret the 3

aſſociated ® with the Lord Dacre to treat ot Peace
with them. In all which ſervices he bchaved
" himſcli ſo well, and «ſpecially 9 in that ſignal
Battel of Purham (in which the King of Scots
was taken priſoner) that he obtained from the
King a joynt Grant *, together with Raphe Lord
Nevill ( who had likewilc been an emincnt Com-

then had received from the King of France.

alſo held f, being part of that Barony. It was al-
{o found, that Stephen de Bays, his Brother, was his
next Heir, and Lx years ot age : Which Stepben
was in ſuch favour with the King, that his Relief
was wholly remitted ©, with command 4 to the
Shcritfs of Lincoln and Dorſce Shires, to give him
Livery of his Lands, without payment thercof.
But though Stephen was thus found to be his Bro-
ther and Heir, he was no other than his Heir-male,

Daughters and Heirs 3 and that the King granted
the Marriage of one of them unto Elyas de Rabayne
(an eminent Man in that time.) Likewilc, that
under colour of that Grant, this Elyas took the
other Daughter, and carricd her beyond Seca, to the
intent that he might as well defraud the King of
the Cuſtody of the moity of that Barony, as the
other Coheir of her Inhetitance. The King there-
fore ſent his Precept to the Sheriffs of Somerſet,

Dorſet, and Lincoln Shircs, that* they ſhould ſcife

I come now to Fohn de Haſtings, Son and Heir
to the before-ſpecitied Fobn and Iſabell.

This Fobn, in 34 E- 1+ (his Father then living)
attended u Queen Margaret into Scotland and in
4 E. 2. was * in that Expedition then made thi-
ther.

Being of full Y age at his Father's death, (viz. in
in 6 E. >.) and doing his Homage *, he had Live-

the Wars of Scotlarid. So likewiſe in < $ E. 2.
being then of the Retinue of Adomare de Valence
(his Uncle) Earl of Pembroke. Asallo in 4 10 E.2.
And in in 11 E. 2. wascharg'd with CC Foot, for
his Lands of Went, to the Wars of Scotland.

In 12 E. 2. he wasagain in the Scottith Wars;
and in 13 E. 2. upon © that Inſurrection of the
Lords (when they baniſh'd the two Spryſers) being

f then one of their Adherents, the King hatiing |

” towards Glouceſter (whercot the Lords had pot-
(:(6d © themſelves) he fell off trom them, and came
| to the King at Cirenceſter,

Moreover, he was the ſame year, again &, in the
Scottiſh Wars 3 and in 16 E.2. made Governour ! of
Keni!rozth-Caſtle. Shortly atter which, viz. in
18 E, 2. he departcd ® this Life, leaving Iſſue, by
Falian his Wite, Daughter » and Heir of Thomas de
Leybwurne, Laurence ® his Son and Heir, at that time
about hve years of age.

Which 7zlian, within one year after, took to
Husband 4 Thomas le Blountz and had for her
Dowrie ', of the Lands of the laid Fobn de Haſtings
(her Husband) an Aſſignation of the third part of
the Mannor of St. Clere3 as alſo the Caſtile of

Daughter of King Edward, unto whom ſhe the ſaid
Anne (tood allicd in the third and fourth Degrees of

k a thouſand Florens of Gold, to the Repair of the

of S, Edinundsburp and it, before his laſt depar-
cure out of England; and that the Money fo lott,
had no better luck, foraſmuch as it had been got
from the Religious Houſes and Clergy. But others
attributed ! it to his living an Adulterous lite, being
a Marricd Man : allo, ® that he had, in Parliament,
attempted an Infringement of the Churches Liber-
tics and that he had perſwaded the King to lay
greater Taxcs upon the Clergy, than Latety, for
lupport of his Wars. Which praQtice of pilling and
poling the Church, however the Temporal Lords
(faith my Author) were pleaſed 3 yet what ſucceſs
they had, not onely England, but the whole World

I now come to ſpeak of his Death, the Circum-
ſtances whereot were as followeth 3 viz. ® That
having undergone four years Impriſonment in
Spaine, with moſt mhumane Uſage, he (cnt to
Bertrand Clekyn , Conttable of France , dcfiring
that he would uſe ſome means for his Enlargement;
who thereupon interceding. for him to the Baſtard
of Spaine, then calling himſelf King , obtain'd
his Liberty, in conſideration of part of that Mo-
ney due to himlclt ; which being agreed on, he was
brought to Paris. But after his coming thither, it
was not long «cre he fell 9 mortally ſick, of Poylon,
as joe thought, given him by the Spaniards, who
were reputed to have fuch a ſpecial Faculty in that
Art, as that the Potion ſhould kill at what diſtance
of time they pleaſed. The French therefore ſeeing
P his death approaching, being 4 eager to get his
Ranſom before he died, made haſte = to remove

Pe 345, urbs of London, where he had a Noble Monu-

ment z which, at the general Diſſolution of the Re.
ligious Houſes, by King Henry the Eighth, was
(with the reſt) utterly defaced. 1

Dying thus without Iſſue, Reginald Lord Grey
of Ruthyn was by ſome ® Inquilitions found to he
his Coulin, and next Heir of the whole Bloud, as
deſcended Lincally from Elizabeth Siſter to Joby
de Haſtings, Father of Fobx, Great-grandfather of
this Earl. And by other ® Inquifitions, Hugh de
Haſtings, Son of Hugh, Son of Haghb, Son of the
lame Jobn de Hoſtings, by 1ſabell the Daughter of
Hugh le Deſpenſer, his ſecond Wite, alſo found to
be his Heir-male, but of che half Blood.

This Hagh, in 14 E. 3- was ? in that Expedition
then made into Flanders 3 and in 16 E, 3. lum-
mon'd 9 to Parliament amongſt the Barons of this

Realm. In 20 E. 3. (being call'd ” Conſanguinew ©
Regis, The King's Comin) he was conliituted © his ;
Licutcnant in Flanders, and Commander of all his /

Military Forces there againſt the French; where
they took *t above CCC Priſoners, and brought them
into England. And in 20 E. 3. was inthat Expe-
dition then made into Bzitaniip, being of the Re-
tinue to Henry Duke of Lancaſter. Morxcover, in
33 E. 3+ he was in the Wars ® of Gafcoine 3 and in

40 E. 3+ attended * Foby Duke of Laneafter into BE

Spain. After which, viz. in 43 E. 3. he was in
Y that Expedition then made into France, and of
the Retinue with the ſame Duke of Lancafter.
This is all of moment that I have ſecn of him.
I ſhould gow proceed to his Deſcendents : But for-
almuch-as they never had Summons to Parliament,
I am not conceen'd to ſpeak of them, Neverthe-
lefs, foralmuch as Edward Haſtings, Great-grand-
ſon to'this Hugh, had a long Contelt with Reginald
Lord Grey of Rutbyn, for bearing the Arms of
this Family, it will not (I hope) be deemed im-
pertinent to take notice, that ſo little did Fobs Earl
of Pembroke (Father to the laſt Fobs) regard his
next Hcir-male, and fo much dillke Reginald Grey,
Father to the lalt Reginald, as that he Entailcd the
greatelt part of his Lands upon William de Beaw-
champ, betore-mentioned. b
Natwichftanding which Sertlemcnt, the Right
of Bearing the Arms was in thoſe ddys of tuch
eltcem, that the Conteſt * for them (1{T, Or 8 Manch
Gules) betwixt Reginald Lord Grey, Son to the
betore-mention'd Reginald, and Edward Haſtings,
Brother and Heir to the laſt-mention'd Hugh, lalted
little Icfs than xx years, in the Court- Milicary, be-
fore the Conſtable and Marſhal of Engiand.
Wherein, after much Moncy ſpent, Edward Ha-
ſtings, who fo challenged them, as Hcir-malke

| of the Family, was not onely condemned 2 in

970 l. 174. 10d. ob.g. Colts, (Grey (wearing that
he had ſpent a thouſand Marks more) and the Arms
adjudged to Grey z but impriſoned Þ fixteen years,
tor dilobeying that Sentence. The particular Pro-
ccedings in which Bulinefs, with the hard meaſure

, which Edward Haſtings had, for brevity I paſs by.

But one thing farther I ſhall obſerve 3 viz. © That

Perhaps there had been ſome former Entail, to

I toto, Two Lords, Nine Knights, Fifty cight Eſquircs, and Twenty Gentlemen,

But King Edward's Death (which hapned with-
in few. years after) altered the Scene : For, having
then a new*Game to play, wherein the Duke of
Glouceſter had the chief Hand though he was the
firſt who gave that Duke advertiſement * of King
Edward's Death ( Gloxcefter being then in Torkſhire)
yet not complying with him in the deftruCtion o1
his Nephews , (as the Duke of Buckingham and
ſome others did ) he was ſoon deſtroy'd himſelf by
that Monſter, whoſe ſole aim was his own Ad-
vancement to the Throne. :

Certain it is, that the Queen (I mean the Wite

. of King Edward) borc a private grudge © towards

this Lord Haſtings, in regard ſhe ſaw he was fo
powerful with the King 3 but chiefly, for that the
luſpe&tcd him to be a Favourer and Furtherer of his
wanton doings with light Women. Nor did her
Kindred at all brook him, by reaſon he got the
Office of Captain of Calais, which had been for-
merly promiſed to the Lord Rivers, (the Queen's
Brother : ) And thercfore, upon the death ot King
Kdward, he joywd with the Duke of Buckingham)
in the removal of all thoſe of that Kindred trom the
young King, Edward the Fifth, and in his Jour-
ney towards London, at Northampton, was of Coun-
{cl with the Duke of Glowceſter, in his taking away
the Lord Rivers (the Queens Brother) and Sir Ri-
chard Grey (the Quecns Son) and ſending them to
Ponttract Caſtle, where ſhortly after they were
baſcly murthcred.

And ſo little did he doubt of the Duke of Glow-
ceſter's Favour towards himſclt, as that, upon the
meeting of the Lords, when the King got to Lon-
don, he aſſured them of the Duke ot Gloxceſter's
Fidclity, affirming, That Rivers and Grey were
under Arrcit for Matters attempted againſi the
Dukes of Glowceſter and Buckingham.

And, when the Lord Stanley began to diſtruſt
the Duke of Glouceſter, he uſed all the Arguments
he could, to fatisfic him, that all would be well;
preluming wholly upon Catesby (a Lawycr of his
Councel, and chick Confident of Glowceſter's ) that,
were there any danger, he would diſcover it. For
the Duke of Glouceſter. made all ſhew of kindneſs
to him; yet did privately ſet on Catesby to found
him, and to win him to his Party: but having (o
done, and diſccrning that he could not be wrought

on, it was refolv'd by Gloxcefter, that he mult be |

diſpatch'd out of the way.
Upon Fryday, therctore, the thirteenth pf Func

about nine of the Clock in the Morning, many of |

the Lords being met at the Tower, to conſult about
the young King's Coronation, the Protcor came
to them (tor fo was the Duke of Glowceſter then
call'd,) but after ſome little liay, delired them to
ſparc him a while : And, upon his return (about
an hour after) with an angry Countenance, and
biting his Lips, atter a little pauſe, demanded,
What did thoſe deſerve who bad conſpir'd bis deſtru+
ftion, conſidering bis near Alliance to the King, and
that be was Prot:Gor of the Realm ?

Whcrcat the Lords being much aſtoniſh'd, and
muting what this thould mean, this Lord Haftings
(by rcalon of che great intimacy tormerly had be-

tween them) ſtood up, and ſaid, That they were
worthy to be puniſhed as beinow Traytors, whoever
they were. Whereat the ProteQor replying, That
he meant his Brothers Wite, viz. the Queen, that
Sorcereſs (for ſo he calld her) and others with
her : Wherewith Haſtings ſeemed well enough con-
tent yet was not fatished, that he knew nothin
of this Matter before, as he did in that touchin
Rivers and Grey, being privy to the intended Mut.
ther of them that very day at Pontſract Caſtle,

Then (quoth the ProteCtor) you ſhall all ſee by
this Sorcereſs, and-that Witch (of ber Comnſel )
Shoze's Wife, with their Affinity , bave by their
Sorcery and Witchcraft waſted my Body : And there-
upon pulling up his Sleeve, ſhew*'d his withered
Arm ( which in truth had been fo from his ln-
fancy.) Whereunto Haſtings reply'd , Certainly,
L, Lord, if they have ſo done, they deſerve bainow
Puniſhment.

What (quoth the ProteCtor) thou ſerveſt me, I
ween, with Iſs and And's I tell thee they bave
Jo done, and that I will make good on thy Body, thou

Traytor 3 giving a gicat knock on the Table with
his Fiſt. Ac which, one without crying Treaſou,
there ruſhcd in divers Men in Harneſs. Where-
upon the Protector ſaid to this Haſtings, I arreſt
thee Traytor , and added, Make ſpeed, and ſprive
him quickly for, by St. Poul, I will not go to
Diuner, till I ſee thy Head off» And lo, taking a
| Prieſt at adventure, cauſed him immediately to be
| brought out, upon the Green betore the 'Chappel,
| within the Tower, and his Hcad cut off upon a
| Log of Timber lying there» Which being done,
his Corps was carried to UWindſeze , and buried
in St. George's Chappel, near to King Edward the
Fourth's Grave.

Being thus barbarouſly deſtroy*d, there are two
things which I find were then obſerved *:; The
one 15, Tat ſhortly after Midnight preceding that
tatal Day, the Lord Staley fent a truſty Mcſlenger
to this Lord Haſting's Houle, to advertiſe him ot -
a Dream he had that very Night viz. That a
Boar with his Tusks lo razed both their Heads, that

{ the Blood ran about their Shoulders z which made

lo great an Impreſſion upon himlelf, confidering
the ProteQtor gave the Boar for his Cognizance,
| that he caus'd his Horſe to be made ready, refol-
| ving to have rid away that Night, it Haſtings
would have gone with him. But this the Lord
Haſtings lighted, as a vain Conccit; though the
next day it was wotully fulfill'd upon kimlelt, and
likewiſe on Stanley, though not (o ſeverely» For
when the Soldiers ruſh'd in, and took away Ha:
| ſtings, they {mote the Lord Stanley on the Head, fo
that the Blood ran about his Ears and had he not
ſtoop'd under the Table, might have beaten out his
Braius.
The other Obſervation » is, That this Lord Ha-
' tings, coming that day towards the Tower, and
| mecting with one Haſtings a Purſivant, on the
Tower-whatf, he put him in mind, that when he
met him laſt in that Place, he was in ſome danvgcr
of the King's diſpleaſure ( viz. King Edward the
Fourth) having had ſome ill Office done him by

the Lord Rivers (the Queens Brother) ſaying,
i/h:n I met thee here before, it was with an heavy
heart. Tea, (quoth the Purſivarit) but, thanked be
God, they got no good, nor you no barm. Thou
wouldjt Jay ſo (quoth the Lurd Haſtings) if thou
kneweſt what I know 5 which few elſe know yet, and
more ſpall ſhortly : Meaning, That thole Lords of
the Queens Kindred, vize Rivers her Brother, and
Grey hcr Son, ſhould that very day be Beheaded at
Pantlratt: Little dreaming of God Almighty's
Iultice, at that time fo ſignally to fall upon himlclt.
For as they, without any Tryal, loſt their Lives up-
on that Day (aud, as ſome think, the ſame Hour)
by his Privity and Counſel 3 his own was taken
away by the Tyranny of the ſame Perſon, with
whom he had ſo unworthily complied in that foul
Contrivance. 1

By the Tcltament * of this murthered Lord,
bearing date 21 Funii, 21 E. 4. he bequeath'd his
Pody to be buried in the College or Chappel of
St. Geuzge at TWindſoze , in the place where the
King did aſſign, near to that where he himſclt did
ordain his Burialz appointing C Marks to be be-
ſttow'd on his Tomb there : and gave to the Dean
and Canons of that College, a Jewel of Gold or
Silver, of xx L. value, there to remain perpetually,
to the Honour of God, as a Memorial tor him.
Moreover, he ordained, That his Feoffees ſhould
amortize Lands, to the yearly value of xx 1. to the
Dean and Canons aforeſaid, to the end that they
{hould perpetually find a Prieſt, to ſay daily Mals
and Divine Service at the Auler next to the place
where his Body ſhould be buried, in the ſaid Chap-
pcl, or Collegez and there to pray daily for the
King's proſperous Eſtate, during his Life z and at-
tcxr his Death, for his Soul; as alſo for the Souls of
him the ſaid Lord Haſtings, and his Wife, and all
Chriſten-Souls; and that the {ame Prieſt, for the
time being, thould have viii /. yearly of the (aid

"3231, roe, XX 0, (which was accordingly performed *.) Like-
wy wile, That his Executors ſhould give unto the Ab-

bot and Covent of @ulbp, in Com. Nortbampt. xl.
of Lawtul Money, to the Relicf and Increale of
the ſaid Houſc and Abby 3 as allo Lands and Te-
nements, to the value of Five Marks, with the two
Churches of Wipſiow and Lubenham, to be law-
tully appropriated for ever to the ſame Abbot and
Covent, and their Succcflors; tor the which the
lame Abbot and Covent were to appoint Placebo
and Dirige to be lolemnly done with Note, ant the
Morrow Maſs of Requiem, with Note, in the Quire
of the fame Abby.,tor the Souls of him and his Wifcz
his Anccſtors there lying clpccially, with all other
his Anceſtors, and all Chriticn-Souls : and at his
Obit, to give in Alms amongſt Poor People, xx 5.
in Money. Alſo, That a Pricti, being one of that
Covent, ſhould daily ſay a Mals of Requiem, at an
Altar to be ordaincd in the ſaid Abby, tor his Soul,
and the Souls betore rehearſed.

Morcover, That his Exccutors, at the time of his
Burial, or bctore, fo {oon as notice might come to
tim of his Death, in all hattc ſhould procure a
thouland Priclts to {ay a thouſand Placebo's and

Dirges , as allo a thouſand Maſſes tor his Soul ;.

Cvcry Pricli to have for ſo doing vid. And that
all that Scrvice be done on one day, 15 rcalonably
polſible. Likewiſe, That C /. thould be diſpoſed
to Poor Folk after his Deccalc, and to the Freres
ot Notingham , Nvzthampton, Leiceſter , and

But this Proclamation, being *? ſo plaulibly
Penn'd, fair Engroſſcd, and Publiſh'd within two
hours after his Dcath z made it clearly manifeſt 4,

that the Deſign, for thus cutting him off, was privi-

ly laid before-hand-
- It is ſaid by ſome, That the real cauſe of the

PtoteQor's thus dealing with him,was, That, know-
ing him to be an Enemy to the Queen, and all her
Kindred, (as Buckinghem alſo was) he calily allur'd
him to condeſcend, that Rivers, the young King's
Maternal Uncle, and Grey, his half Brother, ſhould
tirft be ſevered from him, then Impriſon'd, and
laſtly, to avoid future inconvenience, wrought his
conſent to cut off their Heads. And, having gone
thus far, urg'd that Argument ſo far, viz. To depreſs
thoſe whom they bad injur'd, and deſtroy thoſe wh-m
they bad depreſsd, as nothing but the Death of the
young King himſelf could faſhion the Concluſion.
And, though he had {atisficd mg Cary That
whenſoever the King and his Brother ſhould arrive
to able years, they would take a molt fevere Re-
venge of that unpardonable Wrong thus done to
their Uncle and Brother; yet, with this Lord Ha-
ſtings, whoſe Fidelity to his Maſters Sons was with-
out ſuſpicion, he took another courſe z which was,
by Catesby, to ſound him and, in caſe he found
him not plyable, then to kill him fitting in Coun-
cil 3 and, if that failed, to make ule of the Hang-
man, in cutting off his Head.

Befjdes all this, I am further to obſerve, That in
Anno 1477+. (17 E. 4.) the Dean and Chapter of
the Collegiate Church of our Lady at Leiceſter, by
their Inſtrument ©, bearing date 1 2 Febr. where-
unto their Common Seal is afhx'd, covenanted,
That whcnſoever he ſhould fortune to depart this
Life, they would keep a ſpecial Obit for him, in
their Church, upon the day of his Funeral. As alſo,
cvery year to celebrate his Anniverſary, tor the
health of his Soul, and the Soul of the Lady Ca-
therine his Wites And, that the Provolt of that
Collegiate Church, ſhould yearly upon that day,
at the end of Maſs, . pay to the Dean 1ii s. iv d. and
to every Canon, then preſent, 11 . To every Vicar
ot that Quire, then allo preſent, xii d. To every
Clerk, vid. To every Choriſter, iv d. Likewiſe, to
the Virger, iv d. And to every poor Man and Wo-
man, then bcing in the Almſhouſe within that C9l-
lege, a Peny, out of the Ifſues and Protits of the
Hoſpital of St: Leonard, ſituate near the Abby of
Leiceſter, by realon that chis Lord Haſtings had ob-
rain'd that Hoſpital trom the King, and given it
unto that College tor ever.

And laſily, That according to the appointment
of his Teſtament, he was buried in the North-Iſle
of the Royal Chappcl of St. George, within the
Caſtle of UWindfoze , near to the Tomb of King
Edward the Fourth, where his Monument is till to
be (een.

I come now to Edward, his Son and Heir.

N the time of King Henry the Firſt, Walter
Eſpec, a Perſon of great Note (as is evident
by that memorable Character © which Ailred,

then Abbot ot Rievaulr, gives of him viz. Duick-
witted, prudent in Comnſel, ſerious in Peace, diſcreet
in War, a truſty Friend, a loyal Subjed, of Stature
more than ordinary large, yet comely 3 bis Hair black,

the greateſt part of his Eſtate to Prous Ules , Found-

bies: the firſt > of- Canons Regyllar (of Se. Augu-

tian Monks.
This Walter was Lord © of Pelmeflep (hereto-

ons; for there (faith my Authorf )—— P,glacia
ſua, thalamos ſnos, & cellaria ſua, in ſervorum
Chrifti habitacula commut avit He converted that
his pleaſant Seat to a Keligiou Houſe.

Of theſe his Devout Works, I thought fit firit
to make mention, in regard they preceded his Mi-
litary Actions in point of Time : Howbeit, whcn
I conlider how gloriouſly he behav*d himſelf in
that memorable Fight ® againſt the Scots, near
Noztb-Alverton,in Torkshire, commonly called the
Batrel of the Standard, which hapned in the year
of Chritt 1138. (3 Steph.) I do no les admire his
Valour, than his Piety.

But of that famous Encounter, and the Occaſion
thereof, having ſaid ſomething already in the Lite
of Williamle Groſs Earl of Glbemarle, 1 ſhall here
onely take notice of his particular Actings.

And firſt, That ® he (who is called * by R, Hove-
den, Procerum egregius) with Thurſtan Archbiſhop of
Pozke, did incite all the Noblemen of Exgland,
living beyond Humber, to put themſelves in Arms,
for refiltance of the Scots, who had then Invaded
the North of this Realm with a mighty Hoſt: and,
that being * of Stature taller by the Head than all
others, as allo had in great Veneration, both for
his Age and Wiſdom, aſcending a Device which
was made about the Standard, he did by an elegant
Oration * encourage the whole Engliſh Army to
hghtz pucting them in mind of the famous Ex-
ploits which had been done of old, by the Valour
of their Anceſtors, in Forcin Parts, and in parti-
cular, againſt the Scottiſh Nation; affuring them,
That, to vindicate the vile Profanations which thet

where they came, Sr. Michael and his Angels, and
St. Peter, with the Apoliles (whoſe Churches were
by them made Stables) would tight z yea, That
the Martyrs, with their glorious Company, whoſe

| Altars they nad defiled, would lead them on : Like-

wiſe, That the Sacred Virgins would interccdc for
them, by their devout Prayers; and, That Chriſt
himſclt would take up his Shicld, and riſc up to
their Aid. And, having ended his Speech, turned
himſelf to the Earl of Albemarle, and gave him
his Hand, ſaying |, I faithfully promiſe you, That I

"| will Conquer the Scots this day, or loſe my Life by

them.
Which courageous Expreſſion did ® put ſuch ſpi-

NJole Extraction, wanting Iſae 'f bis Body ) gave

rit into all the Noblemen there, that each of them
made the like Vow to other : And to take away all
opportunity of Flight, (ſent " their Horſes to a large
diſtance, rcſolving to tight on foot, and conquer,
or to loſe their Lives.” Whereupon ſoon enſued 4
glorious Victory © to the Engliſh.

Nor was he meerly a Soldier, but Learned in the
Laws, asit ſcems: for he was * a Fwftice itinerant,
together with Exſtace Fitz- Fobn (a great Baron in
the North) ſhortly after the beginning of King Ste-
phen's Reign,

In his youthful years he took ? to Wife a certain

Lady, nam'd Adeline; and by her had a Son 4 cal-

of King Henry the Third's Reign 5 in which he ex-
ecuted © the Office of Sheriff tor the Counties of
Eſſex and Hertford, tor three parts of that year, and
tor | half the third year. But now, being grown
an aged Man, and his Death near approaching, I
ſhall take notice of his Works of Picty.

Whercof the firlt and chicfcſt I ind mention,

is, That, for 4 the health of the Souls of King

Henry the Second, and of King Henry (the Young-
er) his Son, whom he calls his Lord 3 as allo for
C the Soul of King Richard the Firlt, and for * the
health of his own Soul, and Soul of Jſabell his
Wiſe , and all his Anccſiours , he Founded » the
Priory of Rertmele, in Com. Lanc- and conterr'd
* upon the Canons of that Houle, all the Liberties
and Privileges as Tongue could cxprefs, or Heart
devilc.

Next, That he gave ? to the Monks of Glouce-
fter, in pure Alms, his Mill at Caltle-Goderich,
with the Sute thereto as alſo * the Sute of the
whole Town of Þunſton.

Likewiſe, That for © the hcalth of his Soul, and
the Soul of Iſabel! his Wite, he gave Þ to the
Monks of Pembzoke the Tithe of his Mills of
Pembzoke, Tynbev, and Caltle-Wartin. Further-
more, To < the Chappel of our Lady at Caver-
ſham he gave all that Place which the Canons of

Nutley had built upon, tor thcmlclves, near the |

Gate thereof; as allu 4 xv Acres of Land there,
lying Weſtwards from the Church.

To the Canous of Bzadenſtoke, 3 Com, J/ilteſ.
he gave © the Church of Eſto;79. To the Knights
Templars,th: Advowſon * of the Church ot @pene,
tor an yearly Penſion of tive Marks, to be paid to
the Preceptoric of @aunfo?d » as allo ® the Church
of Caftelan-Emlyn » with Lxxx Acres of Land
there, in Echirmanhitr. To® the Monks of Stan-
ep, in Com. Wilteſ. a certain Place in Jreland,
call'd Sr. Saviours > whereupon part of that Co-
vent removed thither. And began *' the Foundati-
on ot an Abby ot Ciſtertian Monks, in the Land
of Powygken, in the fame Realm ot Ireland 5
which IGbe!l his Wite, and Geffrey Fitz-Robert
his Steward, according * to the appointment of
I115 Tack Will and Tettament, perteC&t.d ', This 1s
it which is by ſome « called Tinterne (in regard
it was propagated from that 'of Tinterne in
Wates ;) and by others ® de Voro, by reaſon of a
Vow hc had made, when he was in great peril at
Seca.

Re likewiſe Founded © the Priory of Canons of
St. Auzuitine, at Kilkenny» mn Ireland ; As alſo
4 that at K1iIruth, which was a Cell © to Kartmnele,
in Laxcaſhirez and that ' for Knights-Hoſpitallers,
at I rgh-Garmon, in the County of TUexto2d,

Morcover, he granted " divers Liberties and
Privileges to the Burrough of BWaudac , in Com.
Bedf. (tormerly given " to the Knights Templars
by his Noble Anccliour Gilbert Strovghow, ſome-
time Earl of Pembroke) and gave » unto them the
Mill ot Kadewell:(þ2bed, with two Husbandmen
in that Town. And, having by his laſt W:ll and
Tc.itament conttituted ® the Abbot of St. Auguſtines,
at Wzifloll, and Henry Fitz: Gerald his Exccutors,
to whom he aſſigned 4 his Mannor of Caverfiam
(near Reading )ti!l certain ot his Debts were pa1d,
he departed * this Lite at Caberſbam, in 4». 1219.
(3 H. 3.) Whercupon his Body, being thence car-
ried to Krading, was received © with tolemn Pro-

Ot which Brothers I ſhall ſpeak in order; and IR

This IVilliam, in his Father's Life-time, ſcil. in William 2,

twixt whom and the King thole Covenants were 9) dorimay
made, whereby 4 the Government of the Realm was Ng

they conſtituted © him to be one of thoſe xxy : /let eral
tor which reſpc& (amongſt them) he underwent **

But upon the Death ot King Fobn, which hapned My
ſhortly after (the Scene much altering) his Noble
Father reduc'd him to obedience (as before«is ob»
(crved ) fo that he became Loyal to King Hejry the
Third, and thercupon had uv a Grant of the Lands »Pi- 184+

the Lands of William de Moubray, and Gilbert x:

to him in that Quarrel : Which being in a ſhort
time reconciled, the King's Countenance towards
him cleared up again, as appears by that Confrma-
tion © made to him in 14 H. 3. of the Mannors of
:abourne, Sutton, Kemeſey, Linton, Nozton,

to the Earl of Perchz to hold by the Service of
five Knights Fees : provided *, that in caſe Alianore
his Wife (Siſter to the King) ſhould ſurvive him,
that then ſhe ſhould enjoy them during her natural
Life.

In this fourteenth year of Henry the Third, being
made & Captain-General of all the King's Forces in

-|

15:itanny, and then perſonally ! in the Wars there,
the King of Connacht, in Jreland, having know-

ledg thereof, rais'd ® a great Power, and did much |

|

|

Spoil " upon the Engliſh, until by the Forces ot.

Geffrey de Mariſco, then Juliice of Jreland, aud
others, he was utterly ® vanquiſhed. But, upon the
King's Return from thoſe Parts, he ſent ? this Earl
(with the Earls of Cheſter and Albemarle) and»
ſome conſiderable Power, for the keeping of thoſe
Rebellious People in awe.

This Earl William, for 1 the health of the Soul
of Wilkam his Father, and Iſabell his Mother, con-
firm'd r all the Grants of his Anceſtors to the Monks

of Winterne, in Wales 3 adding * of his own |

Bounty, all his Lands and Woods of Pochlenny,
ſet forth by Metes and Bounds.
He likewiſe Founded + the Houſe of Friers-
Preachers at Kilkennp, in Ireland. And having
marricd * Alzanore the Siſter of King Henry the
Third (who ſurviving him, made her Vow » of
Chaſtity 3 but afterwards became the Wife * of
Simon Montfort Earl of Leiceſter ) departed 7 this
Life, without Iflue, in Arno 1231+ (15H: 3+) and
was buricd * in the New-Teniple, at Longon,
18 Cal. Maii, near to the Grave oft his Fathcr.
Whereupon Richard Mareſchall, ins ncxt Bro-
ther, returning * into Englaild, about the Month
of Auguſt tollowing (together with the © Earls of
15zitanny, and Cheſter) repaired « to the King,
then 1n Wales 5 and preſcnting 4 him(clt to num,
as Heir to his Brother, thus deceaſed, offered © to
perform his Homage , and whatſoever cl(c could
juſtly be required ot him for that Inheritance. But
the King, by the ſuggettion * of Hubert de burgh
(then his Councellor, and Juſtice of E:1g\snd) lay-
ing*, he had Information, That th: Witc of his
Brother was then great with Child ; and that till
the truth thereof was manifeli, he would not hear-

; ken to him : Morcover telling © him, he had hcard,

that he had been converſant with his Encmics in

France 3 commanded him | forthwith to avoid !

the Realm, proteſting *, That if attcr xv days
time he ſhould be found in England, he would caſt
him into Priſon. QVhercupon he haſtcd imo | Jre-
land, where the rett of bis Brothers, and the whole

|

Souldiery there, received ® him with much joy
and delivering ® up to him all his Caltles, did 9 Ho-
mape to him. *

Having therefore proceeded thus far, he entred
P upon the Caltle oft Pembzoke, with the whole
Honour thereto appertaining 3 and, raiſing all the
Power he could, rcſ(olv*d 4 to get his Inheritance
by force, if otherwiſe he could not obtain it.
Whercupon the King, fcaring * a publick Diſtur-
bance, accepted his Homage and Fealty, and © re-
ſtored to him all his Rights he paying t the ac-
cuſtomed Relict. And likewilc dirccd his Precept
u to the Sheriff of the County of Bedf. That he
ſhould make Livery to Aliaxore the Widow of the
late deceaſcd Earl, of the Mannors of Luton, and

T udington, (formerly belonging to the Earl of

Perch) to hold for her Life 3 of which Mannors
the late Earl her Husband died ſciſcd : As alſo, to

Poſlcflions of the ſame Earl of Perch. So likewilc
of all thoſe * Lands which did belong to Baldwin de
Bethun, whereof William his Father had been pol-
le(s'd by the Gift of King Henry the Third.

But I return to Kicbard, This Richard, though
Earl of Penibzoke, had for the moſt part the Title
of Earl-Marſhal attributed to him; as is evident
trom M. Pariſ. * an Hiſtorian ot that Time: Yet
we do not tind that any Perſon had that Title by
Creation, till Thomas Monbray Earl of Notingham
was honour'd therewith, in 9 R. 2.

In 17 H.3. this Earl Richard (thus reconciled )
obtain'd a Grant * from the King, of the Inheri-
tance of the Hundred of Aure, in Ccm. Glowc. But
avout this time, the King keeping Þ his Chriſtmas
at Wozceſter (by the Advice © of Peter (de Rupi-
bus ) Biſhop of Wincheſter) removed all his Eng-
liſh Officers from their Employments at Court, and
placed © Poidtovins, and other Outlandiſh Perſons,
in their (icad z amongſt which, Sir William de Ro-
dune Knight, Marſhal © of the King's Houle, under
this Earl Richard, then called the Great-Marſhal,
was f one. Which did fo highly diſgult our Earl
Richard, that he boldly addrcflcd © himfclf to the
King, intreating, That he would reform thole Mil-
carriages, which threatncd ruine to himſclt, and
the whole Realm.

Soon after which, a Great Council bcing held
: at TUeliminfler, he came to London, and lodg'd
at his Silter's Houſe (viz. Iſabell the Wite of Ki-
chard Earl of Cornwall, Brother to the King) by
whom he received Advertiſement, That there was
a Dclign * to f(cile upon him, and deliver him up
to the King » whereby he mult expe& no other
than to be ulcd as Hubert de Burgh, late Jultice of
Gnglend, had been. Which to liartled him, that he
torthwith got * away by night, and fled into
C1eg, Whereupon the King grew (o highly in-
ccnled, that he cauſed | his Houles and Lands to be
waticd, and his Caſiles to be bulicged. Moreover,
the Biſhop of Wincbeſter z corrupting ® his
Fricnds, fo that they forfook him, he was con-
lirain'd to betake " himiclf to Leolize Prince of
Wales, and the Great Men of that Country.

But ſo it hapned, that being thus in Hoſtility
with the King, one of his Caliles, ſo beſicg'd, held
? out in ſuch fort, as that the King, thinking ? it
diſhonourable not to win it, ſent 1 ſome of his
Biſhops to this Earl, to let him know, That in
cale he would render it up, he ſhould have it
again within fifteen days : and further ſigniticd to

the Feaſt of All Saints, well accoutred with Horſe
and Arms, to go againſt it; as alſo to waſte ? the
Lands of this Earl, both in Wales, and all the
Parts adjacent. But he, foreſeeing this Storm,
like an expert Souldicr, cauſed * all the Cattel and
Proviſion of Victual to be taken thence. Which
being diſcern'd by the King, he diverted his inten-
ded Courſe, and march'd 2 to the Caſile of Gzof-
munt ; Whereof the Earl having notice by his
Scouts, he preſently ſent > out a ſirong Party of
Horſe, in the Night z which, ſurpriſing all who lay
abroad in Tents, brought © away above five hun-
dred Horſes, with divers Waggons, wherein the
King's Money and Provifion of Victual was carri-
cd; and returned 4 back with lafety.

After which Succeſs, he came to Monmouth,
and took a {pecial View 9 of the Caſtle there, on all
parts; purpoling to gain it by Aſſault, But Sir
Baldwyn de Gyſnes, a Flemiſh Knight, being Gover-
nour thereof, expecting *© to gain ſome Honour, if.
ſued f out with a Party of Horſe, and aſſayed to
take him : Whereupon hapned a ſharp Skirmiſh, in
which Sir Baldwin, with twelve of his ſtoutelt
Mcn, bent ® themſelves fiercely towards the Earl ,
but he ſo valiantly defended himſelf, that none of
them could touch him., though they kill'd his
Horle. In this Exigent, therefore, he unhor(t | one
of thole his Aſſailants, and leapt into his Saddle.
Which Sir Baldwin diſcerning, he furiouſly made at
him again, and pull'd * off his Helmet z and then,
taking his Horſe by the Bridle, 1cd | him towards
the Calile,

In this deſperate condition, laying about him
courageouſly with his Sword, and killing ® two of
the Soldiers who guarded him,one of his own Men,
diſcerning his Danger, let fly at Sir Baldwin with
an Arrow from a Crofs-bow, which pierc'd " his
Body through his Armour, fo that Sir Baldwin fal-
ling to the Ground (the relt running to takE. him
up) he was there reſcued © by ſome of his own
Mcn, who came in at that inſtant.

After this, lodging ? at the Abby of Wargan, a
Frier-Minor, of great Credit with the King, came
to him, with intimation 4, That it he would ſub-
mit himſelf to Mercy, he ſhould have a large pro-
portion of Herefordſhire, for to ſupport him ho-
nourably. Others allo repreſented = to him the like.
But atter much Diſcourſe, and many Arguments on
cither fide, inſtancing © the many Grievances for
which he took up Arms, he concluded t, That
without the joynt Conlent of thoſe who ſtood en-
gaged with him in that Quarrel, he could make
no Accord.

Continuing therefore thus in Hoſtility, Fobn de
Monemuth (a great Baron in thoſe Parts) raiſed

all the Power he could againſt him, Whereof ha- |

ving notice, he lodg'd * himſelf, with ceria; |
china Wood, through which the Enewy was ig Ji
paſs; ſo that when they came, making a great
Rout amongſt them , he flew ? and took man
Fobn himſelf elcaping with much difficulty, Ky
thereupon joyning * with Leoline Prince of Wales
march'd as far as @hzewsbury, making great D-. «| li
valtation « by Fire and Sword; and entring that by,
Town, burnt Þ a great part of it. The Biſhop of
Wincheſter theretore (who then bore « the chief

Sway at Court) apprehending 9, that many of the < wa
Poittovins had been lain in Wales,and the diffcy)” *L ®
ty of ſuppreſſing this Earl by force,tram'd © a Letter

to Maurice Fitz: Gerald, at that time Jullice of Ire-

land, Walter de Lacy, and other Great Men there

who were his ſeeming Friends; whereby repreſent.

ing to them, That this Earl Richard was for mani.

Which fair Aſſurance (0 encouraged ® thoſe Iriſh ,

Lords, that they ſoon r:\{olv'd to etke& his defires, dB
Whereupon the Biſhop of Winchefter, getting into |
his Hands the King's Great Seal (from the Biſhop of

| porting as much, and ſent it to them. Which was
no ſooner received, but that, to intice the Earl over

with no more than fifteen Men in his Train. Where 4 Bid. 397,
being landed, Richard de Mariſco (a Perlon of » yu
much Gravity, and his Leige-man) repaired | to }
bim (but under-hand confederated ® with Fitz-
Gerald, and the reſt of thoſe to whom ſuch large
Promiſes had been made) and treacherouſly advi-
ſed " him to raiſe all the Power he could, and to
ſubjugate that whole Realm to his Obedience en-
gaging ® himſelf to be his Aſſiſtant therein. At
which the Earl ſomewhat pauſing, he ſaid ?, hat
do you fear ? Will you degenerate from your vali-
ant Anceſtors , who never turn'd their Backs to an
Enemy ? Who then will believe that you are the Son
of the Viftorious William Mareſchall? See, Conqueſt
attends at yorr door ! Behold your Ancient Rights by
Lineal Deſcent, which your moſt Puiſſant Anceſtors,
who took, the Name of Strongbow, moſt valiantly ac-
quired !

Being therefore animated with theſe Expreſlions,
he rais'd 4 what Power he could, throughout all his qi,
Territories and having ſo done, laid Siege * to ,; vdy3u

if Whercupon, aſſenting 4 to a Conference with

11% poſe, Geffrey de Mariſco heating thereof, ſecmed
; © much to blame him for it, and upbraided him
with Cowardiſc. Alſo, at the ſame time no leſs
than Lxxx of his Souldiers, who were corrupted

reſolve to tight, they would all of them forſake
him.
On the next morning therefore, being come ® to

more than * xv of his own Men, who were taith-
ful; Maurice Fitz-Gerald, and the reſt of his Par-

wid. 99 * him 3 and in the firſt place demanded | the Truce

Battel with them. Being therefore thus put to it,
and urg'd by Gefre de Mariſco, and ſome other
treacherous Perſons then preſet, to refuſe what
was thus defired, each Side prepared * for Fight.

he wonld advile him to grant their Deſires: for
(quoth ? he) myMite is Silter to Hugb de Lacy, and
therefore 1 cannot take your part againſt him.
Whercupon the Earl told ? him, he then ſaw that
he was betray'd; ſaying 1, That he would rather
die with Honour, than quit the Ficld: And look-
ing back upon his Brother Walter, commanded *t
ſome of his Servants to take him to his Caſtle near

by his whole Generation ſhould be extind&. And
ſ having put his Men in Order, exhorted f them to

It is (aid ! by ſome, That when the King heard
of the death of this Earl Richard, he cauſed much
diſtribution of Alms to be made unto poor Pco-
ple for his Soul ; and commanded, That his two
Brothers, Gilbert, and Anſelme, with Hubert de
Burgh, and all others then Impriſoned, ſhould be
brought to his Court. Alle, That they coming
accordingly, bare-footed, bare-headed, and Arms
bare to their Elbows, to crave his Mercy 3 he wept
bitterly, being ſcarce able to ſtand on his Legs tor
ſorrow z fo that he was ſupported by the Earl of
Hereford, and G. de Crawcumbe. Morcover ®, That
he kiſſed them, and cauſed Reſtitution » to be made
of all their Lands.

By others it is ſaid F, That this Gilbert, upon the
Death of his Brother Earl Richard, in Anno 1 234+
C18 H. 3.) repaired to the King, and deſired Li-
very of his Lands, offering his Homage, and what
elſe he otherwiſe ought to pertorm : And that the
King, at the Interceſſion of the Archbiſhop of Can-
terbary, receiving his Homage, made Reſtitution
thereof accordingly to him; As alſbd, That at
Whitſontide following he girt hum with the Sword
of Knighthood, and delivered unto him the Rod
of the Marſhalfie of his Court, according to cu-
ftom, in as ample a manner as his Anccltors had
held it. /

Being therefore thus receiv'd into Favour, and
reſtored to the Lands of his Inheritance, both in
England, Wales, and Ireland; in manifeſtation of
his future intended Fidelity, he delivered 2 his «Pat. 18K.
Caſtle of Strigul into the Hands of the Archbi- ed 1m 6. ot
ſhop of Canterbury; and his Caſtle of Dumas, in *
Ireland, to the Archbiſhop of Dublin ; But the
King had ſo great an Afhance in his Loyalty, that
he gave * them back to him againz expefting 9,
that this great Inſtance of his Favour ſhould
thenceforth oblige him to a perte&t Amity with the
reſt of the Nobles, both of England, and Ireland,
betwixt whom and him there had been formerly
very high Animoſities. Soon after which, viz. in

from the Oppreſſions of the Court of Kome, and
thoſe Aliens under whom it then groaned. And the
next ycar following,upon a Meeting 2 at Noztham-
pton, with the ſame Earl of Cornwal, and divers
other Nobles, obliged ? himſclf to them by Oath,
That, without longer delay, he would go with
ther that year to Pieruſalem, for the Service of
God and the Church, in caſc he could be reconciled
to the King, who it ſecms was highly offended
with him : For, keeping 1 his Chriſtmaſs at Win»
cheſter, he dcnicd * him entrance at his Gates :
Whercupon the Earl retiring to his own Lodgings
in that City, invited C all he could to his Table
and on the morrow imploy'd * ſome Perſons of
Honour to the King, to know the cauſe why he
was thus debarr'd the Court, offering » to clear
himſc]f of whatſoever might be laid to his Charge.
To whom the King anſwered * 3 Why doth be lift
wp bis Heel againſt me ? His Brother Richard waz a
bloody Traytor to me and my Kingdom, and wa taken
in Battel fighting againſt me; and therefore worthily
diſherited, died of bis Wounds in Priſon. And, at
the importunity of Edmund Archbiſhop of Canterbu-
ry, of meer Favour, and not any Deſert, I reſtored to
this Gilbert bis Lands, but to reaſſume them again at
my pleaſure. Underltanding, ' that the King was
thus moved againſt him, he went * into the North)
after which time, neither he, nor his Brother Walter,
ever loved © him cordially.

Moreover , the next enſuing year (viz. Anno
1240 24 H. 3.) the King acculcd © him upon ſome
Criminal Articles z whereunto he had © the Octaves
of Eaſter to make anſwer. But by the Mediation
of Richard Earl of Cornwal, the King became re-
conciled unto him. Which Reconciliation was
wrought ( as ſome then conceived ) by privite
Gifts; and, *tis like, was moſt true: for, it ap-
pears, that the ſame year, upon * Saturday the Eve

* of St. Botwlph, he delivered + up the Caſtle of Pe-

benſe to the King, in the Wood at Lehtone 3 ex-
cepting thoſe Lands formerly given him in Fee:
viz. Gztiwell, which had been beftow'd in Marri-
age on Iſabell his Niece (Daughter of William Earl
Ferrers ) with Gilbert Baſſet; and the Town of
Ripe, which had likewiſe been granted in Marii-
age to Robert Bryſe, with Jſabell the Daughter of

the Earl of Gloxceſter, another Niece of this Earl; |

as allo the Mannor of Weſtcote, which had been
given to Ffobn de Gateſden.

About this time allo, Maurice Fitz-Gerald, then
Juſtice of Ireland, came « over to the King at
London, and delircd © a Reconciliation betwixt
this Earl and himſelt, whom he knew to be difat-
feed towards him, for the Death of his Brother
(Earl Richard) (o ſlain in Jreland, as bath been
oblerved. And, though he knew himſelf to be in-
nocent therein, and to that end offered f to put
himſelf upon Trial ; nevertheleſs, for the love of
Peace, and' to ſtand upon Terms of Amity with
him, he ſaid *, he would Found a noble Monaſte-
ry, for the health of his Soul. With which the
King was ſo well pleaſed, that he called this Earl
before him, and told © him, That he would be the
Mediator tor this Reconciliation athiming i, That
in caſe the Earl ſhould refule it, being thus deſired,
he ſhould be unworthy of his Princcly Grace and
Favour, Whercupon a fair Accord betwixt them
was * made. But all I have farther to (ay of this
Earl Gilbert, is, That he firſt (viz. in Anno 1235:
Ig H. 3.) took to Wite © Margaret the Siſter of
the King of Scotland, wich whom he had f Ten

chouſand Marks, and more, for her Portion, beſides
a Noble Dowrie in Scotland 5 and afterwardss,
Maud de Lanvaley, without the King's Licenſe;

| for which Tranſgreſſion his Lands were b ſeiſeq,

Likewiſe, That for * the health of his own Soul,

and the Soul of the {aid Margaret his Wife, he gave .

k to the Canons of Nutley, in Com. Buck. all the
Tithes of his Fiſhing, belonging to his Mannox of
Caverſham 5 with all the Tithes of his Mills, a
Caverſham : as alſo ! all his Lands called ghjy,
benbirſt5 and a Rent ® of xv1 z. yearly, for the
maintenance of two Lamps, burning Night and
Day, in the Chappel of our Lady, at Caverſham,
for the health of his Soul, and the Soul of Exil R;.
chard his Brother. And that, in Any I 241,
(25 H. 3.) being at a Tournament " then held at
Ware, ncar Partfozd, mounted 2 upon a luſty Ita.

ing, broke 4 both the Reins oi his Bridle, and caſt
© him out of the Saddle. Whereupon, hanging f
in one of the Stirrups, he was fo dragg'd about,
trodden upon, and bruilcd, as that he dicd 2 the
ſame Evening. viz- 5 Cal. Fulii, in the Abby at
Yertfozd, without liſue. And the day following,
being carried " to the New-Templeat London, had
Sepulture i there, near unto the Grave of his Fa.

Jalter, having taken * part with his Brother Ri- |
cbard, in that InſurreRion whereof I have alrcady
made mention, after his death (in 18 H. 3.) had
pardon « tor that Tranſgreiſion, and was accepted
to Favour, having Reſtitution * of his Lands, which
were ſeiſed on tor the ſame viz. Goderich-Ca-
ile, &c. And at length, wz. in 26 H. 3+ (his Bro-
ther Gilbert being thus dead without Iflue) had
ſpecial Livery Y of his Office of Marſhal, with all
the Liberties thereto belonging, in as ample man-
ner as IVilliam his Brother, ſometime Earl of Pem-
broke, formerly enjoy'd it; with a Grant 7 of the
Caſiles of Cardigan, and Caermerdin, which the
bcfore-ſpecified Gilbert (his Brother) formerly had |
of King Henry the Third's Gift, Moreover, the |
ſame year he had Livery = of all thoſe Lands which
were of the Dowrie of Margaret his Wite ( Daugh-
ter of Robert Quincy) Widow of Fobn Earl of
Lincolne, and Congable of Chefter, her late Huf-
band. And in 27 H. 3. paid ® a Relict to the King
for thoſe Lands which” Hawyſe-de Quincy, Mother
of the (aid Margaret, held in Capite.

About this time alſo he gave © up unto the King
the Caſtle of Bolingbzcc, in Com- Linc. and all the
Lands, in Lincoluſh. which were of the Inheritance
of Hawyſfe de Quincie, his Wites Mether. And in
Anno 1244+ ( 25 H- 3.) the King calling together
all the Great Men ot England, and deliring * a
Pecuniary Aid from them, allcdging the great Ex- |
pence he had been at in Gaſcoigne the preceding ,
year 3 Certain of the Biſhops being then made
choice of, as a Committee tor the Clergy this
Earl was one of thoſe appointed || tor the Laytie,
to conſider thereot. But tn Anno 1 246. (30 H. 3+)
$ Cal. Dec. he died 4 at Caſtle-Goderich. And
ſoon after him, Anſelme, his Brother and Heir, de-
parted © this Life at Strigull 5 viz. upon the Nones
of December (a Youth of ſingular comelineſs and
hopes) being, the laſt of the five Sons of the Re-
nowned William Mareſchall, late Earl of Pembroke,
of whom 1 have already ſpoke at large (their Mo-
ther, as *tis (aid f, Prophctically foretclling their
Dcaths in this fort) and were both of them buricd
? at Linterne not far trom Strigul) amongſt di-
vers of their Noble Anceſtors,

Which deplorable loſs of them all ſucceſſively,
without Iſſue, was then much taken notice ® gt :
Wherefore ſome i did attribute it to God's eſpe-
cial Judgment 3 by reaſon that when William, the
firlt Earl, was a great Commander in Ireland, and,
according to the Prattice of Souldiers, exerciled
ſuch Cruelties of Fire and Sword as ulually ac-
company that Courſe of Lite, he took away by
violence two fair Mannors from a Reverend Biſhop
there, and poſſe(fd himſelf of them, as the Ac-
quilition of War; and that the Biſhop, after

frequent and carneſt Entreaties for their Reſti. |
tution , without any ctk&, did thereupon pro- |
nounce the Sentence of Excommunication againſt
him, for that Fa&t, which he contemn'd.

Moreover, it is (aid *, That after this, the ſame
Biſhop (of Fernes, who had been a Monk of the
Ciltertian Order, and an Iriſh-man by Birth)
made a Journey to the King, then at London z
and grievoully complaining ot the Injury done, at-
tirm'd, That he had not Excormamunicated him

Whercupon the King (then very penfive) deſired
the Biſhop that he would go to his Grave, and ab-
folve him, and that then he would fatisfie his de-
lixe. Whereupon the Biſhop went, and the King
himſclf with him, and ſpoke as followethz, « Oh
« IPilliam, who liclt here buried, and ſhackled with
* the Fetters of Excommunication 3 it thoſe Lands,
* which thou mott injuriouſly didlt take from my
« Church, be rettored, with tull (atisfaRtion, either
*« by the King, or any of thy Kindred or Fricnds, 1
* then ablſolve thee 3 otherwile, I ratihec that Scn-
< tence, tothe end that being wrapt up with thy
« Sins, thou mailt remain condemn'd in Hell.

And that the King, being much dilplcaſed at
thele his Exprefſions, blamiug him for his Rigour,
he an{wercd, Sir, 1 pray you, marvel not that I am
moved; be hath deſpoiled my Church of ber chieſeft
Revenue. The King therefore privatcly advertitcd
the cIdelt Son of the Earl,and Heir to all his Lands,
whercot he was then poſſcls'd, as allo ſome of his
Brothers, That, by r«ttoring them, they ſhould in
| mercy releafc his Soul. But thereunto William re-
turn'd this Anſwer :

<1 do not believe that my Father took them in-
* juriouſly, in regard that what he did, being done
*in the time of War, was a Lawful Acquilition
* and therctore if the old doting Biſhop hath pro-
© nounced his Sentence unjuſtly, his Curſe will tall
* upon himſeclt. For my part ( quoth he) 1 will not
* leflen my Patrimony, deſcended to me by Inheri-
* tance z my Father dicd ſciſcd thereot, and 1 have
* juſtly entred upon it. Whercunto all his Brothers
concurred.

Furthermore, That the King taking notice of
their obſtinacy, being then young, and under Tu-
telage, forbore to diipleale them. But the Biſhop
hearing thereof, was much grieved, taking more
offence at their Contumacy, than ot the Injury tirtt
done by their Father : and, going to the King, 1d,
| \ar, What T bave ſpoke, I bave ſpoke, and what

I have written, i not to be reverſed: The Sentence

without deſert ; and therefore befought the King,

That by his Authority and Command, and for the |

therefore muit ſtand. The Puniſhment of Evil-doers

.|s from God; and therefore the Curſe which the
| Pſalmiſt bath written, ſhall come upon this Earl, of

whom I do thus complain 3 vit- His Name ſhall be
' rooted out in one Generation, and þ;s Sons ſhall be
| deprived of the Bleſſing, Increaſe and Multiply
| Some of them ſhall die a miſerable death, and their
| Inberitance ſhall be ſcattered: And this, thou, O
| King, (alt behold intby own Life-time, yea, in thy
flouriſhing Touth.
| Having ſpoken thus much in the bitterneſs of
his ſpirit, he departed thence, leaving him enthrall'd
with that Curſe. Whercupon it hapned, that in few
| years aftcr all his Sons died without Ifue,
| © Ot this Family allo was John Mareſchall,
' who took f to Wife Margery the Silter and Heir to
Thomas Eatl of Warrick (which is all that is me-
; morable of him) but not Brother to William Ma-

OF ENGLAMND.

himſelf of the Cafiles of Carlifle, and New:caſtle
upon Tine, gave him this Earldom of Puntendon
in licu of them. Whether that were fo, or not, 1
(hall not take upon me to argue : but certain it 15,
that this Henry (Son of David) enjoy'd © it till his

As to its Succeſſion atterwards, it 15 to be noted,
That the before-ſpeciticd Henry, by Ada ' the Siltcr

William, both Kings of Scotland ſucceflively 3 as
alſo a third | Son, called David. And, That Mal-
colme, in 3 H. 2. giving ® up to King Henry the
City of Carlifle,cogether with the Town of New-
caltle , and Caſtle of Bamburgh, ix Com- Nor-
thumb. as alſo " the whole County of Loudon, in
Scotlandz had thereupon this Earldom of Yun:
tendon reſtored © to him 3 Simon the Son of Simon
de $t. Liz, the ſecond (who had been formerly Earl)
being then in Minority. |

It. is likewiſe farther to be obſerved, That this
Malcolme died ? without Iflue, in Anno 1165+ (11
H. 2+) and that thereupon William his Broth-:
ſucceeded 4 him, as well in this Earldom, as in that
Kingdom ; and, as a Member thercot, poſlc(>'d
r Fodzinghep, z» Com. Northampt. But it was not
long atter (viz. Anno 1173+ 19 H. 2.) cre that
this William invaded # No:thumberiland, which
he challenged «= as his Righe, vom David his
Grandfather 3 but was repulſed » with no (mal]
loſs. Neverthelefs, the next enſuing year he made
x anew Attempt : but the Great Mcn of the North

—

molity betwixt them, in the King's Preſence, that
he told them both, .in great wrath, That neither ot
them ſhould have itz and thereupon cauſed that
Caltle to be demoliſh'd : but cxpreſs'd that Simon:
ſhould enjoy the Earldom, Likewiſe, That noc
long after, Simon departing this Life without I(l-
fue, the King gave the ſame Caſtle to this IVi!l;am,
and that thereupon he beliow?d it on David his Bavie,
Brother.

Whether he did, or did not, during the Lite of
King Henry IT. I thall not here Itand to argue:
but certain it is, That in Anno 1190» ( 1 R. 1.) this
William obtain'd from King, Richard a Relticution
| of the Caſtles of Koxbozough, and Berwick, and : FM.Wettm,
whatſoever elſe King Henry the Second had taken y 11,59"?
trom him, when he was his Pritoner : As alſo n
all his D-n:: ins and Fees in the County of Yurrten®
do!?, and 4!! »ther Placesz, to hold to him and his
Heirs, as ti-.'y as Mylcolme his Brother bad ever
-njoy'd them , or ought to have enjoy'd them.
And as certain it is, That David his Brother toon
after poſſ.('d it: for, it appcars ", Thac King Ri- 3 at.
chard the Firſt, by his Charter, bearing date 24 Fu-
114, in the firlt year of his Reign, granted and con-
hrm'd to this David (whom he calls Earl David,
Brother to the King ot Bcotland) all the Liberties
which David King of Scotland his Graudfather,
and King Malcolm his Brother, had jn the Honour
ot Yuntendon, in the time ot King Heary,Grand-

railing ! the Power of the Country, gave him Bat- |
tel * at Alnwick ; and there vanquiſhing = his Ar- |

my, with much ſlaughter, carricd him Priſoner Þ to
che Caſtle of Richmund 5 and thence brought «

| chard, or in the time of the faid King Henry his

| in 6 K. 1+. he attended » that Kitt

him to Northampton, to King Henry, with his Leg;
tied 4 under the Bclly of an Horſe. After witich,

being ſcnt to Faleife F ina Nozmandy, upon Þ tae |

ſixth of D:cember, Anno 1175+ (22 H- 2.) he
made || his Pcace with King Henry, upon thcſe
Terms 3 viz. © That he ſhould do Homage to him
tor the Kingdom of Scotlaud, and for all other
his Territories and Lands: Alſo f, That all thc Bij-
ſhops, Earls, and Barons of that Realm, from whom
King Henry requir'd it, ſhould do the like. Ac-
cording to which Agreement, being brought back
into England, both he, and his Brother David,
came 3 to Pozke, and there did Homage | to
young Henry (the King's Son.) And for the better
obſervance of all Points of that Accord, delivered
| up the Caſtles of Koxbozough, Berwic, Gedde-
wozth, Edenburgh, and Strpvbelin, with David

his Brother, and divers of the Nobles of Scotland,
for Hoſtages.

But this Story is otherwiſe told by the Monk of |

Jozebaulx 5 viz. « That King Henry making an
Expedition to Tholoufe, in the tifth year of his
Reign, Mglcolm King of Scotland went with him,
aud for that reſpe& had this Earldom of Yunten-
don given him. Alſo, That after his death, Willi-
em his Brother (and Succeſſor in the Kingdom of
Scotland) held it, until he roſe in Arms, with
young Henry, againſt King Henry the Father : And
then, that David his Brother belieging the Caltle
ot Huntendon, King Henry (bcing in Nozmandp)
appuinted, That the Nobles of England ſhould
march thither with an Army, and deliver it to $i-
men de St. Lize, together with the Earldom, as
the right Hcir thereto. Moreover, That thereupon
Simon laid Siege to it, until che King of Scots,
then init, gave him the Keys thereof, And. That
afterwards this Difference occaſion'd ſuch an Ani-

| It ſeems, that ſoon atter he adhered to the Rebclli-

tather to King Henry, Fathcr of the (aid King K-

Father.

Being thus ſctled in this Earl lom of Huntendon,
that which i #u:xt find memorable of him, is, That
in his Expedi- «& 4.

:ion then made into Nazmandy, And next, That K.. 5+
he took to Wife ? Maud the Daughter of Hugh Ke- p\ Auto
velizc Earl of Cheſter,and cldett Sifter and Cohr to F bei
Ranrulph Blundevile, the lalt Earl of that Family,
Wi:h whom he had 4 in Frank-marriage, by the

Cauz, Witit her Inheritance. But this Henry, and
David, dicd (both of them), in his Lite-tunc, as 1t
ſeems ; for Fobn, the third Son, became his Heir *,

I ſhould now come to his Marriage, and what
clſe is memorable of him : but having already ta-
ken notice thercot, in my Dilcourſe of him, as Earl
of Cheſter, 1 necd not here to lay any more.

Reginald Earl of Cornwall.

TI = Reginald was © one of the illegitimate
Sons of King Henry the Firlt (begotten,
as *tis generally believed ®, on the Daugh-
fer of Robert Corbet ) and firnamcd © de Dun-
ftanvill.,

In 3 Steph. he wasa ſtout Adherer 4 to Maud the
Empreſs, againſt King Stephen : but afterwards,
falling off, was in Anno 1140. (5 Steph.) made ©
Earl of Coznwall, by that King. Howbcit, after
this, bcing furpriled f in Coznwall, at a certain
Caſile then in the Power of the King, by one IF711-
liam Fitz-Richard (a Perſon of ' a Nuble Extra-
tion, and aiplc Fortune in tholc Parts) violating
h his Faith to that King, he marricd ' the Daughter
of this William , and thereupon reduced * that
whole Country to his Will, grievoully opprefling
| all the King's Party, and not (paring ” what was
Sacrcd 3 infomuch as he underwent the Sentence
" of Excommunication for {o doing, by the Biſhop
of Ereter. The King therefore hearing ® of thee
his Rebellious Practilcs, marcht # ſuddenly. thi-
ther, with a powertul Army; and recovering 4
thoſe ſtrong Holds by him gaincd, committed r
them to the trult of Earl Alan (of Richmund. )

Atter this, ſcil. 1n 6 Sreph. he was C in that tatal
Battel of Lincolne, againſt King Stepbex. Bur,
ere long, the Tide turning, by the Succeſs which
the King had in taking t the Catile of Fozandune,
in Com. Berks. which Robert Earl of Glouceſter
had built » on the bchalt ot the Empreſs 3 being
by her (ent * with Overtures of Pcace to the King,
he was taken ? by Philip, a younger Son to that
Earl, who had revoltcd to the King's Side.

After which time, I tind no more mention of
him, till 2 H. 2. that he had the Lordſhip of Þe-
leburne, z Com. Somerſct. given ® him by King
Henry 3 as allo ® the Mannors of Karswill and
Depetozd, with the Hundreds.

In 10 H. 2. he endeavoured ® (for the King's
Honour, as *tis P (aid) a Reconciliation betwixt

King Henry, and Thomas Becket then Archbiſhop of

0

|

|

' ( current Money ot Azjou ) for his Support 1n that

as allo f the Mannors of Comnewoztb,

Canterbury. Which not taking effc&, he was the

next year {cnt 4 to viſit him in his Sickneſs; and ni,
attcr that, to! acquaint him with the Judgment gi |
ven againſt him.

Furthermore, upon the levying of that Aid in
1 2 H. 2. for Marrying the King's Daughter, he cer-
tificd C his Knights Fees to be CCXV and a third [Ub. ms
part, in Coznwall, and Pebonſbire : for which, ——
in 14 H. 2. he paid © CCXV Matks ivy. v 4, be. 7k p
lides u Lix 1. vis- viii d. for the Knights Fees of "hr H. 2,
Kichard ( de Redvers ) Earl of Devon, Una

Moreover, in 19 H. 2+ upon that Rebellion * of «-x Howd,
Robert Earl of Leiceſter, on the behalf of young 12 3274,
Henry (the King's Son) he marcht Y again(t him
(with the Earl of Glouceſter ) to St.Edmundstury
and the year following, joyn'd * with Richard g +
Lxci (at that time Juſtice of England) in the Siege *
of Leiceſter, then held out by the Forces of that
Earl; which Town they took 2, though not the
Ciaſile.

This Earl Reginald, for * the health of the Soul ; rp
of King Henry his Father, gave © to the Monks in *) **%.r1,
the Iſle of Sullp, all the Wreck of Sca hapning V ay,
upon that Iſland ; excepting I/bales,and any whoic
Ship. And departing 4 this Lite at Certeſep, in 4: R.#wng,

He allo left Iſſue ! two Sons, but Illegitimatez vt.
the one called Henry Fitz.Count, begotten " on Fa
the Body of Beatrix de Vans, Lady of Tore and ” SOR

the Grant of King Henry the Second. And 1 H. 5;
obtain'd another Grant © of the County of Copn*
wall, with all its Appurtenances, to hold in as full
and ample manner as Reginald Earl of Coznwall
hcld itz and not to be diſlisd thereot, but by
Judgment of the King's Court.

In 4 H. 3. it appears”, that he ſtood indebted to
the King in five hundred ninety ſeven Pounds and
one Mark, which was dae by him to King Fobn tor
the Honour of 1B:acles (alias 152oeneis : ) and that,
the ſame year, diſobcying i the King's Commands,
as alſo ſtubbornly departing * the Court without
leave, the King diſcharged | all his Subjects, and in
particular thole of Coznwall , from having any
thing to do with him. Howbeit, ſoon atter,
through the Mediation ® of the Biſhops of Noz- J
wich, Wincheſter, and Exeter, as alſo " of Hubert
de Burgb ( then Juttice of England) and ſome
others 3 giving ® up the Caſtle of Launceſton, and
the County of Coznwall, with all the Homage and
Services thereto belonging, as fully as King Fobn
enjoy'd them at the beginning of the War which
he had with his Barons his Peace ? was then
made, with a Salvo jure, &c. ſaving the Right he
pretended to for that County 3 wherein the King
was to do him Juſtice, when he ſhould come of age.

But that (as it {cems) was never done : for certain
it is, that the King did not arrive to his full age,
till long after the death of this Henry; it being evi-
dent 1 that he dicd about two years after, viz. in |
6 H. 3. Whereupon Command was given * to the
Sheritf of Coznwall, That he ſhould permit his
Exccutors to enjoy all his Goods, and likewiſe the
Rents of all his Lands, whereof he was poſle(s'd
when he went to Pterufalem, for the full Term li-
mited to all thoſe who were ſigned with the Crols.

It is by ſome thought, that this Henry ſucceeded

his Father in the Earldom of Coznwall, in regard
that King Henry thc Third, in the firſt year of his
Reign, granted to him the County ot Coznwall,
with all its Appurtenances, as is above cxpreſlcd ;
Bur conſidering that the Title of Earl was never
attributed to him after that time, I cannot conceive
any thing more paſſed by that Grant, than the Ba-
xony, or Revenue of that County : For tis obſer-
vable, That in the Patent f to Richard Duke of
Glouceſter, by King Edward the Fourth, where-
by he grants him Cajtrum, Comitatum, Honorem, &
Dominium Richmundie, there paſled no more than
the meer Scignorie, otherwiſe he would not have
omitted the Title of Earl thereof amongſt his
Stiles. The like may be noted of Raphe Earl of
Weſtmozland, who had Caſtrum, Comitatum, Do-
mininm, & Honorem Richmundie, grantcd * to bim
by King Henry the Fourth; yet never enjoy'd the
Title of Earl of Richmund.

William de Ipre Earl of Kent.

Ouching the Parentage of this Wiliam,
there is much difference amongtt Authors;
one 2 athrming him to be an illegitimate

Son to Ph/lip Earl of Ipze, in Flanders, begotten
on the Daughter of William Laon Viſcount of

Ipze, ſecond Son to Robert ſfirnamed the Friſon,

his memorable Atchievements, it appears c, That,

———

| Charles Dake of Flanders, upon his coming to

Bzugec, to hear Maſs, bring in the Church there,
devoutly kneeling, was thamctully murthered (with
molt of his Company) by Burchard de L'ifle, and
his Souldiers 3 he {o highly reſented 4 that barba-
rous At, as that he forthwith laid Siege to the
lame Caſtle , until Lewes King of France came
thither z who taking it by Storm, threw down all
thoſe wicked Man-flayers trom a very high Tower.
Likewiſe ©, That having oppoſed Williem Duke
ot Flanders, who had Belicg'd the Calile of Aloſt,
and at length falling into his hands, he was com-
mitted Priloner to Amalric de Montford : but after
a while, through the- Mediation of Friends, had
his Enlargement, and a fair Reception to Friend-

King Stephen having Wars with Maxd the Em»
preſs, in Nozmandy, and thc Countries adjacent z
ſtanding hirm to that King, he endeavour'd to give
Battel to the Anjovins, but, that the Normans,
through envy, retuling to affilt him, he paſſed the
Seine, and went to the King, who embracing
him, with thoſe Flemings hc brought, put his chict
afhance in them.

he marcht into Nozinandy, with Ialeran Earl of
Mellent, there to give aſſlitance to thoſe who were
oppreſſed by the adverle Party ; and firſt encoun-
tred with Roger de Tones (commonly called Roger
de Conchis)) whom tnding too ftrong for him, he
thereupon waſted a great part of the Country : Al-
ſo, That getting to his aſliftance Þ Rapbe de Par-
rona , with CC Souldicrs, and other Auxilia-
rics, he deſigned ' to march into Anjou. And &,
in Anno 1139+ ( 4 Stepb.) when Roger Biſhop of

| Saligburp (who had born a great ſway in the time

of King Henry the Firſt) much favouring the Title
ot Maud the Ewprels, with his two great Nephews,
che then Biſhops of Lincoln and Elp, did much
annoy their Neighbours; which occalion'd Gaale-
ran Earl of Mellent, and Robert (his Brother ) Earl
of Leiceſter, to raiſe a Tumult at @3fozd 5 where-
by they took that Biſhop, with Alexander of Lin-
cola and that the Biſhop ot Ely, clcaping, ficd to
the Deviſes, in Come Wilt. (then trong]y fortified,
where he did the utmoſi he could to Matt it againſt
the King) he was ſent thither to take it, it poſ-
lible-

Having therefore becn thus faithful to King Ste-
pben, and ſhew'd ſuch Teſtimonies of his Valour,
he was, in Anno 1141. (being the fixth year of his
Reign ) advanced ! by him to the Earldom of

Stephen mecting ® with his Adverſaries at Lins
coine, and having there all the Strength he could
raiſe, divided * his Army into three Parts in the
Front whereof he placed » the Flemings, and Bri-
tons, under the Command * of this Earl, and Alau
de Dinant > who encountring the Welch, put 4
them to the rout. But the Earl of Cheſter, on the
other ſide, charging * in with his Troops, forth-
with fo diſordered the Royallitis, that they were
conlirain'd f to give ground. Whereupon this
Ear], ſecing the Day loſt (being a Perſon of great
integrity, and an expert Souldicr) fled t, with pur-
poſe * to reſerve himſelt for better Times.

N Anno 1138. (3 Steph.) Hugh de Morvill was

tecion then made by David King of Scots,

to the Monks of Zinemouth, And in 3 H. 2.
Simon de Morvill gave ® ftty Marks for Livery of

Ada the Daughter and Heir to Will:em de Engaine,

Canterbury, being in his Bed-chamber, requiring
him, by Command trom the King, That he ſhould

' reſtore thoſe Biſhops which he had ſutpended, and

abſolve them that were excommunicated, Who
an{wering ”, That what was done by the Apoſto-
lick Authority, could not be altcred ; he, with the
reſt who had machinated his Death,follow'd ® him
into the Cathedral at Canterbury, when he went
to Veſpers, and there barbarouſly murther'd ® him,

tred * his Stables, and taking 4 away his Horles,
rode * to Knaresburgh in Pozkſhire (a Town then

Of Richard de Morvill (the younger Son of $1.

f to the King a Fine of CC Marks, for Livery of
thoſe Lands which he claimed with the Daughter

part with the King of Scotland, Robert Earl of

ſoon after this, taking * part with the Rebellious
Barons, after the King was made their Priſoner,
in that fatal Battcl ot Lewes, he was by them
elected Y one of thoſe nine Counlellors by whom
the Realm ſhould be Governed. Whercupon, after

Land; and carried it till t his Hands and Eeggs
being broke, he was » there ſlain.
0 likewiſe was Sir Giles Argentine Knight ſlain
*1n Dcotland, in the Battel of Bannoksvurne,

ncar Stribelin, in 7 E.2, It is (aid ?,, That the

King himſclt bring in that fatal Battel, and ſeeing
the danger; by inc advice ot this Sir Giles, (who
being then lately come trom the Wars of Henry de
Laxemburgh, the Emperour, and reputed a liout
tour) tied to Dunbar ; and that this Si Giles
laying, he waFHot wont to fly, return'd to the Eng-
liſh Hoſt, and was ſlain.

But tarther than what hath been ſaid, conſider-

ing that no other of this Family, than the betore-

mention'd Reginald, had Summons to Parliament,
and conſequently were not in the Rank ot Barons,
I ſhall not purlue the Story of them.

reply'd. Though many of them ſleep, I am ſure
ſome of them are waking 3 and being ſenſible of this

the D. of Yerefozd had obtain'd the greateſt part of

on the Duke of Perefozd advancing ® towards him, +

he withdrew ' to Conwap, to which Place the 1 mo.
King was by that time come, and adviſed * him to

go to Beaumares.

It is reported 1 of this Earl, That, though upon 47. wilc.is
the depolal of King Richard the Second, (to whom {19 't%?
he had been moſt obſequious) he had ſuch fair re- |
(pc& trom King Henry the Fourth, that his Life
was not brought in queſtion 3 nevertheleſs, he con-
federated with the Earls of Buntendon and Rent,
in deſigning his deſtruction 3 and accordingly came

next after the Feaſt of the Circumciſion of our Lord,
under the diſguiſe of Chriſtmaſs- Players, with pur-
poſe to murther him.and his Sons, and to retiore
King Richard: But finding that their Plot was dif-
covered, they fled by Night to Cirenceſter, in Com-

Glouc. Whereupon the Townlſ-men, being much
aftrighted at their coming thigher with ſuch num»
bers, at that unſcaſonable time 3 ſiopping up all
the Avenues, fo prevent their paſſage out, there
grew a ſharp Fight betwixt them, which held from

Midnight, until three of the Clock the next morn-
ing fo that, being tired out, they yiclded them-
(clves, defiring that they might not (uffer death till
they could ſpeak with the King which was grant-
ed: But, that a Prieſt of their Party (etting Fire on
the Town, to give them opportunity for eſcape, ſo
irritated rhe Inhabitants,that(negleRing to quench
the Fire) they brought them out of the Abby in
you fury, and Beheaded them about break of the
ay.

Being thus put to death, his Body was buried
4 in the Abby at Cirenceſter, and there reſted till gcpu.355
8 F 5. that the King, upon the humble Petition al __
Tt of Made his Widow, gave her leave f to tran-

Sword, The News whercot being brought to the

famous Jobu Duke of Bedfo?d , then Regent of
France, he forthwith diſpatch'd © this Earl (as a
Perſon more of an old Ruman Courage, than one
of that age, a5 my Author faith) with Fobn of
Luxemburgh, Maſter of the Burgundian-Cavalry,
and a choice number of Men, to recover it. Who
forthwith marching *f into Champaine, ſet down
before it, and in ſhort ſpace got ® it again, retalia-
ting " to the French the like meaſure as the Engliſh
had there ; and thence coming ' to Bzie,and ttorm-
ing it, put * all to the Sword.

Shortly after this, the French beſieging | Cra-
bant, he advanc'd ® with the Earl of Sutfolk thi-
ther, and with " Four thouſand Men giving Battel
to them, ſlew 2 Two thouſand, took Four hundred
Priſoners; of which number, Bxcanws, General of
the Horſe, was ? onez who, within a little time,
ranſom'd 4 himſelf for Money.

In 3 H. 6. he march'd * to the firong and rich
City of Waine, and ſo battered £ the Walls thercot
with his great Guns (not t before that time known
to the French) that diſpairing of Relict, they ren-
dred it » to him. Thence to * Suſan's-Church (a
noted Town of that Country) and prepared ? to
aſſault it upon the weakeſt 1ide thereof, ſetting
? Ladders to ſcale it : But the Townſmen defended
2jt with ſuch courage, that many on cach part
were > ſlain. Which being diſcerned < by this
Earl, and what by 4 ſuch flight Skirmilhes he ſhould
do no good, he begirt © the Walls with a Ditch,
and cautcd his Guns to be * planted towards that
part which was leaſt fortified and fo plied the
Walls with his great Shot, that he batter'd ® them
down in few days. Whereupon the Gover-
nour render'd " it, giving ' Two thouſand Pieces
ot Gold, for liberty to depart tree trom Plunder,
but without Arms.

Soon atter this, he took * the Caſile of Mene, and
ſome other Places, partly ' by Force, and partly by
Treaty. For which Services he obtain'd a Grant
" of Fifty Marks Sterling, to be received out ot the
King's Exchequer,

But now, after all theſe his glorious Exploits,
drawing near his death, he made his Tetiament *
wherein tiling himſelf Earl of Salisbury, Perch,
and Lord Monthermer, he appointed, That in what
Part of the World ſoever he ſhould happen to die,
his Body ſhould be buried at Buſtleſham, in Eng-
land ; bur that ncither his Wite, nor his Executors,
ſhould make any great Entertainment, or have a
ſolemn Herſc for him at his Funcralz or that any

D —

large and ſumptuous Lights (for Worldly Pomp)
ſhould then be provided. But when it ſhould hap-
pen that his Body was carried through any Cities
or Towns of his Native Country, tour Torches
only ſhould be lighted at its entrance thercin, ang
born therewith. Moreover, That upon the day of
his Trentall, twenty four Torches ſhould be Pro-
vided, and four other Lights, to be about his Corps,
at the Solemnizing the Excquies and Maſſes then to
be celebrated for his Soul; and to be born by xxiy
Poor Men, all cloathed alike.

Furthermore, That to every Poor Body coming
to his Trental, Four pence a piece ſhould be given,
tor the health of his Soul, by the hands of his Exe.
cutorsz fifty poor People being tirſt choſen out of
the whole number there being, unto whom he dire.
cd that his moſt beloved Witec ſhould, with her
own Hands, give XxX 4. a piece.

To the Monaſtery of Buſtleſham he thereby like.
wiſe gave the Sum of C1. Sterling, out of his mo-
vable Goods; willing, That the Prior and whole
Covent there, ſhould ipecially ordain one Maſs, to
be celebrated every day for his Soul, in a peculiar
Place appGinted for that purpole, with this Collc&,
Dews cut proprinm, &c-

And, That two Canons of that Houſe, immedi-

ately after the Maſs of the Bleſſcd Virgin ended be-

fore his Tomb, (ſhould tor cver lay the Pſalm of De
profundis, with the Lord's Praycr, the Angelical
Salutation, and this Prayer, viz. Dews, cui Proprium
eſt miſerere ſemper & parcere ; Ppropitiare axime
famuli tus Thome , & omnia ejus peccata dimittez
ut, mortis vinculis abſolutus, tranſire mereatur ad
vitam < With theſe Prayers alſo; Incling, and Fide-
lium Deus, pro animabus parentum, & progenitorum
noſtrorum inibi ſepultorum, &c.

Alſo he farther willed, That his moſt beloved
Wite ſhould, ſo ſoon as poſlible after his death,
cauſe a thouſand Maſſes to be ſpecially celebrated
tor his Soul, and the Souls of all the Faithful de-
ceaſed. Charging her moreover, and his Execu-
tors, That they ſhould cauſe three Maſſes to be daily
celebrated for his Soul, during the term of her
Life, in (uch Places as they ſhould think fit, within
the Realm of England 5 and, it poſſible, to be ſo-
lemnized in her Preſence.

Likewiſe he ordained, That three poor People
ſhould be every day, by the care of his Executors,

brought to his Wite that 1s to ſay, (everally, it

they could be found 3 to the end ſhe might ſerve
each of them with one Mcl5 of Meat, one Loaf,
and one Quart of Drink, with her own Hands.
Alſo, That his ſaid Wite, and his Exccutors, ſhould
with all good ſpced caule three thouſand Maſſesto
be clebrated for the Souls of all the Companions of
the Order of St. George, of the Garter, in recom-
pence of thole Maſſes which had been by him for-

| gotten,

Moreover, That his (aid Wife and his Executors
(hould within one year after his deceaſe cauſe a
thouſand Marks to be diltributed amongſt poor
People, partly in Money, and partly in Raiment,
both Linen and Woollen.

To his Uncle, Sir Richard de Montacute Rnight,
he bequeathed C1. Sterling. To Fobn, his own Ba-
{tard-Son, fifty Marks. Furthermore, by a Codicil
annexed to this his Tcſitament, he appointed, That
Five hundred Marks ſhould be raiſed out of his
Lands, to eret a Chantry to the Honour of the
Bleſſed Virgin, above the High-Altar in the Eaft-
part of the Conventual-Church at Buſtleſþam, in

tag in height, ſhould be raiſed in the midlt
thereof, containing three diltinct Places; the mid-
dlemotſi higher than the other two, by halt a Foot,
in which his own Body to be laid and the Body
of the Lady «Alianore, ſometime his Wite, on the
one lide with the Body of the Lady Alice, his

reſent Wife, then living, on the other lide, it ſhe

traiturcs of each in Plates of Braſs, and Epitaphs 4
as alſo a litcle Chappel of Timber cnvironing it,
with an Altar, for Maſſes to be daily celebrated
thereat, for the health of his Soul.
Howbcit, ſhortly after this, reſolving ® to at-

i. tempt the firong City of Dzleans, he march'd

? thither 3 and laying Siege 1 to it, continued there
a great part of the Winter-ſcaſon, the Inhabitants
defending r it with much reſolution. Being impa-
tient therefore of his not obtaining it, he endea-
* vyoured C to find out ſome fat place to aſſault it
but, to that end looking * out of a Window, at the
Sun-riſing, a Bullet from a Braſs Gun ſmote u the
one ſide thereof, and breaking it into Shivers, fo
wounded * him on the Face, that he died Y with-
in ewo days * after, ſcil. 3 Nov. 7 H. 6. to the
great grief of many 3 leaving Iſſue * by Alianore
his firlt Wife (Daughter of Thomas, and Siſter and
Coheir to Edmund Earl of Kent, as bath been al»
ready obſerved) one ſole Daughter and Heir, called
Alice *, then the Wife Þ of Richard Nevill, Son to
Kaphbe Nevill Earl of Weſtmorland, by Foane his ſe-
cond Wife,

Which Richard had thenceforth the Title of Earl
of Salisbury attributed to him, as in my Diſcourſe
of that Family I have ſpecially manitctted.

But Richard de Montacute, youngcr Brother © to
Jobn late Earl of Salisbury, Father to this decea-
{cd Earl, being then alive, was tound d to be his
Heir-male : Who, having reſpite © tor performing
his Homage, obtain'd Livery * of certain Lands i
Com. Berks. thereupon deſcended to him.

And ſo concluding my Story of this Noble and
Heroick Earl, all that I have farther to obſerve, is,
That Alice his ſecond Wite (Daughter ® of Thomas
Chaucer Elq3 and Widow *® ot Sir Fobn Philipp:
Knight) ſurviving him, obtain'd ' Licence about
two years after to marry with William de la Pole
Earl of Suffolk , and accordingly became his &

vernour | of that Calile, by their uſurped Power.
Upon which Truſt, when he came to enter, finding
that the Conttable thcrcof, who had been placed
there by Prince Edward, would ® not admic him,

N 12 H. 2. Philip de Eſiley, upon the AſlMſ-
I ment of that Aid for Marrying the King's
Daughter, was certified 2 to hold three
Knights Fees of William then Earl of Warwick,
de veteri Feoffamento > whereot his Grandfather
had been enteoffed in King Henry the Firlt's time :
the Lordſhips he poſſcſſcd being » theſe ; viz. Aftiep
(which gave the Sir-name to the Family) aate-
dington, Yill-Pozton, Wilberton, and Perſton-
F3hct (in the County ot I/ arr.) all held * by the
Scrvice of Laying Hands on the Earls Stirrop, when
he did get up on, or alight from Horſeback.

To this Philip, fucceeded Thomas his Son and
Heir 3 who holding © certain Lands of the Honour
of Leiceſter , becaine a kind of Bailiff to Simon
de Montfort Earl of Leiceſter 5 as may be fecn by
a Finc 4 of Fourſcore Marks and a Paltfrey, to the
King, in 9 Fob. to bediſcharged of the Profits re-
quired of him for that Earls Lands, during the
time he had to do with them.

In 12 fch.this Thomas de Aftley gave © C Marks to
the King, to the end he might not then go beyond-
Sea : the Record doth not exprels whither 3 but I
preſume it was into Ireland, in regard the King
went * thither, at that time, with a great Army,
and (etlcd © that Realm in Obedience to him. How-
beit, in 17 Fob. being" in Arms, with the Rebelli-
ous Barons, hc was (ent Priſoner * to the Calile of
Bedſo2d, whereof Fulcaſe de Breant had at that time
the Culiody 3 his Lands bcing then ſeifed * for that
Tranfgrcflion : but rcturning | to his Obedience, in

Eſchaets, viz. as well thoſe Lands belonging to
Normans and Britons, as other Strangers, which
came to the King's Hands, or his Fathers, either
before that War, in that War, or after it; and to
certifie the Stock thereupon, with its Value; and
likewiſe, in whole Poſleflion they then were.

But after this, Ido not find any more mention
of him, than that he Wedded ” Mazxd, one of the
Siſters and Coheirs to Roger de Camvile of Creeke
in Com. Nortbampt. and that he left Iſſue J/alter 9,
of whom King Jobs, in 16 ot his Reign, exacted
r Scutage tor Military Service, which ſhould have
been by him pertormed in Poictou, for his Lands
ſo held. Which Tax being Three Marks for eve-
ry Knights Fee, was never ' paid, in regard that
the diſcontented Barons hereupon took occaſion
to rebell t, and brought in Lewes, eldeſt Son to
Philip King of France, as I have elſewhere at
large ſhewed. Howbeit, in 1 H. 3. having ob-
tain'd Letters » of Safe-conduct, to repair to
Dxfozd, there to treat with the Earl of Yerefozd,
for his Reconciliation, he made his Peace.

reſt of his Complices, being with them flaio * in
the Battel of Eveſham, Whereupon, his conh-

ſcſſed 4 the Lordſhip of Pill-Mozton 5 from which
Thomas, the Aſtleys of B:1ton-Conſtable, - in Com.

But by that favourable Decree, called Dilium de
Kenilwozth, the Heirs ot thoſe Rebellious Sub-

their forfeited Eltates, this Andrew giving Satisfa-
Rion 9 unto the ſaid Warine, had a (pecial Grant

Marks Sterling+ for raifing of which Sum, he was
neceſſitated to (ell t his Mannor ot Little-Copſton

reccived into the King's Favour, he gave Secu-
rity " for his future faithful demeanour towards
the King, and his Heirs 3 Roger le Strange of Shzop-
ſhire, and Nicholas Haverſham of Nozthampton-
ſhire, being his Sareties * therein.

And being thus put again into the Condition of

Marwick. Moreover, in 22 E. 1. he was fin
that Expedition made into Gaſtoine : and in
24 E. 1+ he had Summons ?, amongſt other the
Great Men of that time, to attend the King at
Netscaſtlſe upon Tine, upon the firſt of March,
well fitted with Horſe and Arms, for vindicating
ſuch Injuries as had been done by Fobn King of

Engliſh Forces, againſt the Scots. And afterwards,
the fame year, had the like Command <, to be at
L ondon, upon Sunday next after the Ofaves of
St, Fob Baptiſt, to wait on the King into Flan-
ders, and Gaſtoine. But it ſeems he was diſpenſ-
ed withal for his Perfonal Scrvice in that Egpe*
dition: for it appcars, that he was then aſſigned
4 by the Prince, together with 'Fohn de Clinton, to
make choice of ſuch Knights and others, in the
County of Warwick , whom they ſhout think
meer, and to retain them by Wages, to attend the
Prince at Lendon, on the OFaves of St. Michael

then made, was taken Priſoner | in the Battel of
Strivelinz and ſummon'd ® to Parliament in

When he died, I find not ; nor that he had any

viz. Son of Sir Giles de Aſtley, his younger Brother,

(and with him taken Priſoner " at Strivelin) be- »H K-ighton,

came Heir ® to the Ettate3 and in 19 E. 2. had

Which Chantry, conliſting of four Secular

Biſhop, by the Biſhop to be Inflituted 3 and by his
Mandate to the Chapter of his Church, to be ad-
mitted 3 having five Marks by the year for his Sa-
lary, quarterly paid. And likewiſe another Prieſt,
with a fit Clerk, to ſerve the Pariſhioners in that

In 33 E. 3- this Thomas was conſtituted *' the
Chick of thoſe Commiſſioners then authorized for
the Arraying of Men in the County of Warwick,
according to the Statute of Wincheſter. He was
alſo ſummon'd + to Parliament , amongſt the
Barons of this Realm, in 16, 22,and 23 E. 3. And
by the before-ſpecitied Elizabeth his Wite, left It-
ſuc Sir William: de Aſtley, and Sir Themas, both
Knights; as allo Giles ( his third Son) trom whom
the Ajtleys of Wiolbep , i Com. Warr. arc de-
{(cended.

Which Sir Thomas was one of the Knights for
Trwickſbire, in the Parliament of $ R. 2. And
the ſame year retain'd by Indenture |, for one whole
year, to ſerve the King in his Wars of France (the
King himſelf being then perſonally there) with
three Archers, well Armed, and fitted for the
War receiving for himſclt xii d. per diem, be-
fides the accuſtomed Reward 3 and for every ot his
Archers, vi d. per diem.

From him it is, by Elizabeth his Wife, Daugh-
tex " of Richard Hareconrt, Son of Sir William
Harecowrt Knight (whoſe Coufin and next Heir
ſhe was) that the Aftteys of Patſbhull, i# Com. Staff.
are Lincally deſcended. One of which Family,
viz. Fobn de Afiley, is worthily famed for main-
taining ® a Duci on Horſeback, upon the 29
of Auguſt, Anno 1438. (17 H. 6.) within the
Street called St» Antoine, in Paris, againſt one
P-ter de MLaſſei a Frenchman, in the Preſence of
Charles the Seventh, then King of France, Who,
having pierc'd Maſſei through the Head, had (as
by the Articles betwixt therm was conditioned) the
Helmet of the ſaid Myſſei, ſo vanquiſhed, to pre-
ſent unto his Lady. After which, viz. on ® the
30 of January, 20 H. 6. he undertook another
Fight, in Smithfield, within the City of London,
in the Preſence of King Henry , with Sir Philip
Boyle, an Arragonian Knight z who, having bcen
in France, by the King his Maſter's command, to
look out fome (uch hardy Perſon, againſt whom
he might try his Skill in Feats of Arms, and mil-
ſing there of his deſires, repaired hither. Atter
which Combate ended, being gallantly pertorn'd
on Foot, with Battel- Axes, Spears, Swords, and
Daggers, he was Knighted by the King, and had

an Annuity of C Marks given him, during his
Lifc. Yea, fo famous did he grow tor his Valour,
that he was cle&cd ® Knight of the Garter; and
bore 9 for his Arms the Coats ot Ajiley, and Hare-
court, Quartcily, with a Label of three Points Er-
mine.

But I return to Sir IVilliam de Aſtley Knight,
eldett Son to Th.mas, Founder of the Collegiate-
Church at Ajtley. This Sir J/illiam, in 3 H. 4.

was in Commullion for Inquiry touching ſuch as
were Diſturbers of the Laws, and Framers of

grave, other than that he had Sunimons |\'ro Parlia-
ment, amongſt the Barons, trom zo E. 1. until
14 E. 2. inclutive: and that he departed Þ this
Life in 15 E. 2. being then ſciſed # of the Mannor
of Peſinbale, in Com- Suff. Yepdon, in Com. Eſſex +
of the Site of the Caſtle ot Barton, in Com. Nortbt.
(which he had by the Gift of Nicholas his Father )
as allo of the Mannor of emeſton, in that Coun-
ty: leaving Iſſue Maud his Daughter and Heir,
then married to Edmund de Bobnn, thirty years of
Ape.

I come next to Szepben his Nephew, who dicd
the ſame year with his Fathcr (as I have alrcady
intimated. )

This Stephen, in 34 E. 1. was * with Fohn his
Father in the Wars of Scotland : but in 12 E. 2.
he took part * with Thomas Earl ot Lancaſter 3 yet
\ubmitting himſclt, had his Pardon®:; And the

ful Services, obtain'd a Grant 4 of the Hundrcd of
Stodesden, in Com. ++. to hold tor Lite;
paying yearly to the King's Exchequer, by the
hands of the Sheritf, the ancicnt Farm thereot.

Moreover, in 16 E. 2. he was made Conſtable
© of the Tower of London : and in 18 E. 2. ac-
companied f his Father, under the Command of

ludon, in Com. Warr. with certain other Lands,
was ® afſign'd to Alice his Wite, tor her Dowric.

4 1 now come to Fohn de Segrave, Son to this
laſt-mentioned Stephen, but Hcir to his Grandfa-
ther, as hath becn already obſerved : Whole Mar-

riage with Margaret Daughter and Heir to Thomgs
of Brotherton, Marſhal of England (lecond Son to
King Edward the Firſt) added no irall Honour
to this Family.

In 18 E. 2. this F'bn was (cnt ' into Gaſceine,

And dicd in 3o H.3. as it ſcems; Peter his Son

In 1 H. 4 as Couſin Þ and Heir to Sr Roger Da-

mation © to himſelf and his Heirs, of that Grant
which King Edward the Third, in 13 of his
Reign, (in confideration 4 of ſpecial Services)

made to the ſame Sir Roger and his Heirs, of the |

Mannors of Sandhall, in Torkſhire z Palghtoy, in
Oxford(hire 3 and Faukeſþall, in Szrrey-

Which Lady Ages, being afterwards the Wife
© of Sir Roger Mortimer, and ſurviving him, in
4 H. 4. had Licence f to go on Pilgrimage to
Kome, and Colein, attended with xii Servants,
their Horſes, and all Accoutrements-tit for ſuch a
Journey. Soon after which , (he declared ® her
Will, whereby ſhe bequeath'd her Body to be bu-
ricd in the Priory- Church of the Holy Trinity with-
out Algate, in the Suburbs of London 3 making
Henry Earl of Noztbumberland , with her Son
Thomas Lord Bardolfe, Superviſors thereof; and
departed ' this Life on Tueſday next after the Feaſt
of St. Barnabas the Apoſtle, the ſame year 3 her Son
Thomas being i then xxx years of age.

This Thomas, in 6 H. 4. taking * part with Hen-
ry Earl of Nozthumberland, Thomes Earl Mar-
ſhal and Notingbam, and Richard Scrope Archbi-
ſhop of Pozke, in that Infurreion then by them
made (tor which the Archbiſhop and Earl-Marſhal
were beheaded | at Torkp)) was, together with the
Earl of Nozthumberland, purſucd ® by the King,
with a powerful Army: Whereupon he fled »,
with that Earl, firſt into Scotland, and after-
wards into © Wales, But about three years after,
returning into England, and ſo to ? Thzeske in
Torkſhire, they made Proclamation 9 for Liberty
to all that would put themſelves in Arms, and joyn

* with themz inſomuch as many flock'd r in to their

Aſſitance : But the Sheriff of Yorkſhire having rai-
{cd the Power of the County , met f with them
about Yaſelwood, and, in a ſharp Skirmiſh, flew
the Earl, and wounded t this Thomas ſo much,
that he ſoon died * of thoſe Hurts ; leaving Arne,
and Foane, his F Daughters and Heirs, the one then
xix, the other xviii years of age.

After which, being attainted » in Parliament,
Anno 7 H. 4 his Honour of Wyrmegay, with
divers other fair Mannors in Norfolk, were given
* by the King to Thomas Beawfort (his Brother)
other great Lordſhips to || Sir George Danbar
Knight; and the Mannors of Shelfs2d, and Stoke-
Bardolf, in Com. Nott. with Pallughton in Leice-
fterſhire, to ? the Queen.

But the next year following, Sir (Pillzam Clifford
Knight, in right of Azne his Wife, and William
Phelip, in right of Joane his Wife, Daughters to
the ſaid Thomas , humbly repreſenting * to the
King, That Henry the Second, long ſince King of
England (his Royal Progenitor) having by his
Letters Patents given to Thomas Bardolf, Anceſior
to this Thomas, and to the Heirs of his Body, be-
gotten on Roſe the Daughter of Raphe Hanſelyn,
the Lordſhips of Shelfozd, and Stoke-Bardolfe, iu
Com. Nott. and hkewiſe the Mannor of Balugh-
ton, in Covr. Leic. as the whole Inheritance of
R apbe Hanſelyn, her Grandfather : and, that the
ſaid Thomas Bardolf, their Father, lately attainted,
being the Lincal Heir to the before-ſpecitied Tho-

mas Bardulfe, and Roſe z the Inheritance of thoſe |

Lordſhips did of right belong unto them the (aid
Anne and Joane : The King thereupon, having 2 a
conſcientious regard to this their Right and Title,
granted ® to the (aid Sir William Clifford and Anne
his Wiſe,-and to William Phelip and Mande his

SS_

Wite, the Reverlion of thoſe Lordlhips; as allo
© of the Mannor of Birlpng, in Swſix, aticr the
death of his Royal Conſort the Queen, to hold
and enjoy to them, and the H.irs ot ther Bodics,

Which William Phelip, and Foane his Wife, in
9 H. 5. had Livery 4 of their Purparty of certain
Lands in Sxffolk, of the Inheritance of Avicaa,
late Wife ot the fame Thomas Bardolf attaintcd.
and Mother to her the ſaid Foane, Daughtcr © to
Rapbe Lord Cromwell of Taitſhall: and dicd * in
9 H. 5.

It ſeems, that though this Thomas Lord Bar-
dolfe did dic of his Wounds, (as hath bccn already
obſerved) yet his Body was Quartercd *, and the
Quarters diſpos'd ® of, to be ict upon the Gates
of theſe ſeveral Citics and Town, viz. Loiidon,
Pozke, Lenne, and Shzewsburp 5 and his Hcad
upon one of the Gates ot Lincolne : tor ic ap-
peareth ©, That afterwards, upon the Petition ot
Avicia his Widow, the King was pleas'd to give
her leave to take them down, and bury them,

Whether Anne, the eldeſt Daughter of this Tho-
mas, had any Iſſue by Sir William Clifford her Hut.
band, I tind not 3 but certain it is, that (he buried
him, and was afterwards the Wafc | of Sir Reginald
Cobham.

C4 Of this Family there was alſo Hugh Bardulf ft

(a younger Son, as I guels, to the tutt William )

who in 22 H. 2. was amerc'd » at tive Marks, tor

treſpaſſing in the Kings Forclis 3 and was Sheriff
» of Coznwall in 31 H. 2.

In 33 H.2. the King being © in Nozmandy, he
was conſtituted 9 one of his Licutcnants here in
England, for conſervation of the Peace in his
abſence.

This Hugh continued © Sheriff of Cornwall in
33 H. 2. and executed © the fame Orhice tor W1lt-
(hire, for half that year , and likewiſe ® in 34
H. 2.

So allo for » the Countics of Somerſet. and Dor-

ſet. in 1 R. 1. In which year he had the Cuſtody

| of the Lands of Fulke Paynel, by rcaſon * that
he fled, and paid not his Fine to the King tor the
Honour of Baenton. And the (ame year, upon
* the going of that King into the Holy Land, was
conſtituted f (with William Eriwere) an Aſlociate
to the Biſhops of Durbam and Ely, during his ab-
ſence, for adminiltring Jultice to every Man, ac-
cording to the Laws and Cuſtoms of the Realm.
Moreover, in Arno 1:90. (2 BR. 1.) he was || at
Peſſana, in Sicilie, wich King Richard, and once
* of thoſe who, on the behalt of that King, un-
dertook that the Articles of Pcace and Friendſhip,
which were there agreed on, bet wixt King Richard
and Tancred King ot Sicilie, ſhould be tirmly
kept.

Upon his Return he was + alſo one of that num-
ber whom the Pope hid then Excommunicated,

to Fobn Earl of Wozeton (the King's Brother) and
thoſe who with him oppoſed William de Longcamp

half ſhould totally remain to the one of them, and
the other moytic to the other ; excepting to Earl
Simon the third Peny of the Earldom of Leiceſter,
and the Office of Steward to the King : Provided,
That Forty Pound Lands per anxum of Earl $3:
mon's Purparty, ſhould remain to this Earl Saiber,
until Earl Simon ſhould make Livery unto him of
his Purparty of thoſe Lands in Nozmandy, which
did belong to the before-ſpecified Earl of Leiceſter.
And did alſo grant ||, That after the Death of the
two Coantefſles of Leiceſter, viz. Petronill the Mo-
ther, and Lauretta the Wife of Robert, what they
held in Dowrie ſhould likewiſe be equally divided
betwixt the ſame Earl Simon, and this Earl Saber.

Furthermore, in 10 Fob. this Saier gave | to the
King three excellent Courſers, for Livery of the
moytie of the Suburb of Leiceſter , which was
thereupon divided ® by a Jury, by vertue of the
King's Precept. And in 12 Fob. gave ® him ano-
th:r good Courſer, (ſuch a one as the King already
had ®, called Liard) and a good pied Brache;
having then the Title ? of Earl of Fincheſter, but
not before, for ought I have ſeen.

In 13 Fob. being thus ſciſed 9 of the moytie of
the Honour of Leiceſter , he obtain'd a ſpecial
Diſcharge * from the Scutage of Scotland, then
required for the ſame.

But not long after this, viz. in 15 Fob. it is
ſaid f, That the King bore great hatred towards
him (as he did alſo to ſome others) in regard they
complied not with him, in his ſubj<Qing this
Realm to the Authority of the Pope, Neverthe-
leſs, the next year following, the Ditftcrences grow-
ing high betwixt the King and many of his Ba-
rons, this Sziber Earl of Wincheſter had Letters
t of Safe-condu@t, to come to the Court, and treat
of an Accord betwixt them 3 and afterwards was
joyn'd in Commiſſion » with the Archbiſhop of
Canterbury, and others, to fee that all thoſe who
were to repair to London, about the Fealt of the
Epiphany , next enſuing the Pope's relaxation of
the Interdi&, or to Nozthampton, to petition
the King for the Redreſs of ther Grievances, ſhould
have fate-condu& until the Clauſe of Eaſter : And
moreover , was ſo much favoured, as that the

. King committed * the Governourſhip of the Ca-

ſtle at Wontſozell co his Truk.

Howbeit , ſhortly after, aſſociating * himſelt
with the Barons, at that time in Rebellion, he was
a Party ) to the Agreement whereunto the King
was then neceſſitated to ſubmit z whereby he gave
up the City of London wholly into their power,
and liberty to make choice of xxv Barons, by
whom the Realm ſhould thenceforth.be govern'd 3
aS alſo one * of that number: and thereupon, to-
gether 2 with the chief of them, underwent the
Pope's Excommunication Þ the next enſuing year :
Which did not at all ſtartle him 3 for, ſoon after,
he, together with Robert Firz-Ielter (to whom
that Rebellious Pack then gave the Title © of Ma-
reſcsllus Dei & Ecclefie) were emptoy'd 4 from

the reſt, to Philip King of France. tor the pro-
curing him to {cad over his Son Lewes into Eng+
landz with promile © that they would advance him
to the Royal Throne,

Nor did he return to his Obcdience upon the
death of King Joby; but kept! a firong Garriſon
in the Cattle ot Pontſozell, on the bchalt of Lewes.
And when® the King's Forces had bclicged it, in
1 H. 3. being advertiſed * from that Garrilon, that
unlefs they had ſpeedy Relict, they could not hold
itz he went to Lewes, and acquaintcd | him there»
with; who thercupon rais'd * a great Aimy in

London, and conltituted | him one of the Chick

Commanders therein. Which Army began ® their
March Northwards upon the Munday next atter
Aſcenſion-day. Whereot the Earl of Cheſter, and
the reſt who lay before it, having notice ", they ha-
lted ® to Notinghem, expecting ? chere to give
Battel to them, But the Barons, having by chis
means rais'd 1 the Sicge at Pontſozell, forthwith
advanc'd * to Lincoln , where Gilbert de Gant,
with others of that Party, had belicg'd the Cattle :
and being got thither, made a fierce Afſaule © there=
on. Which being made known * to the Noble
William Marſhall (then Governour of the Realm,
by rcafon of the King's Minority) he caus'd a ge-
neral Rendezvourz « of all the Puwer could be had,
out of {uch other Caſtles and Garrifons, in thole
Parts, as then fiood tor the King, to be made ac
Newark upon Trent, on Munday in Whitfon-
week and thence, atter thrce days, march'd * to
Lincolne,

Which being diſcern'd by the Barons, they
forthwith (through the direction ? of this Earl,
and Robert Fitz-Walter ) drew out, and gave
: therm Battel z but without ſucceſs: for being
routed 2 upon the firſt Charge, the King's Forces
got the day, and took Þ Priſoners the molt of that
rebellious numberz among(t whom , this $zaiber
Earl of WWincbeſter was one © of the Chict : But, in
OGober following, upon his ſubmiſſion *, all his
Lands which had been ſeiſed into the King's hands
for thoſe his Afftings, were fully rcltorcd + to him,

Thus much as to his Secular Actions. Touch-
ing his Works of Picty, all I have (een is, That he
gave 4 to the Canons of Leiceſter Six Pounds
yearly Rent out of Byzackler, and alſo, in licu
of Eight Pounds Rent in the Suburbs of Leiceſter,
which he had. by the Grant of the Biſhop of Lin-
colne. Afffter which, viz. in Anno 1218. (2 H. 3)
he went ©, with the Earls of Cheſter, Arundel, and
ſome other ot the Engliſh Nobility, towards the
Holy Land; and was at the Siege f ot Damirta :
but dicd® in Arno 1219. (4 H. 3.) in his farther
Journey towards Yieriſalen!,

The Ifſue which he left by that great Inhericrix
before-ſpecitied, was three Sons; viz. Robert (then
hin the Holy Land) who marticd ' Hawyſe the
fourth Daughter of Hugh Kevelivk, Earl ot Cheſter ;
upon which Marriage, his Father gave * him the
Lordſhips of Ducebeie, Gzaunteſſer, Bzadebam,
and Yerdewich, then of C U. per annum value, to
make a Dowric for Hawyſe bis Wite, Siſter to the
Earl of Cheſter 4 as als two Knights Fees, for
the ſame purpoſe : And had Iſſue by her, Margs-
ret a Daughter, Wifc k of Fobn de Lacie Earl of

A word now of Margaret the Countc(s, Widow

This Margaret, often making her rclidence * 1n
the Priory at Warr, built + there the great Hall,
the great Chamber, the Chappecl, and other Rooms
for her own convenicncy 3 and gave * to the
Knights Templars divers Lands in Sibfozd, and
Litleſozd. Likewilc, to © the Canons of Leiceſter,

her Son and Heir (for {o he was called) pay * C/.
Relict, for the Lands of her Inheritance z and was
the ſame year made Earl © of Wincheſter. Which
Roger, though he bore the Title of IVincbeſter, he
was really Earl of Hantſhire ; for it appears ',
that in 36 H.3- the King, by his Precept to the
Sheriff of Hantſhire, commanded, that he ſhould
then make Livery unto him of that x /. Annuity,
which he had uſually receiv'd out of the Iſſues of
that County, nomine Comit#, in the name of Eat).

In 26 H. 3+ this Roger, being » beyond-Sea with
the King, dclired * liberty to return into England»
And, in 3o H- 3- was one of the Peers who by
Letter ? to the Pope, complain'd to him ot his
Exactions in this Realm.

In 31 H. 3. being ” in Galwep (where he had
a preat Poſlcſlions ir right of his Wife) and exer-
ciling * more leverity to the People of that Coun»
try than becom'd him, he was belicg'd © by them
in a Calile there : and being apprehenſive of his
danger, mounted his Horſe , well armed (with
ſomc of his Followers) and broke 4 through
them 3 whence he came to the King oft Scotland,
to whom he made his complaint © of their dealing 3
who puniſh'd * them for that their Rebellious In-
ſurrcRion, and re-cſtabliſh'd © him in the poſicfſion
ot his Right. ;

In 42 H, ;- this Earl had Summons * to attend
the King at Cheſter, well accoutrcd with Horſe
and Arms, on Munday next after the Feaſt of
Sr. Fobn Baptijt, to oppoſe the Holiilities of the
Welch. Morcover, he had the Title ' of Conlia-
ble of Scotland ; And having tounded * the Pri-
ory of Ulveſcrofte, in Com Leic. granted | to the
Monks of Geroudon all his Veniſon in his Park
of Kitt.— to hunt and kill at their pleaſure. He
allo gave ” to the Monks of Tame, in Com. Buck,
all his Demetn-lands in Spdenham, and likewile
what was hc!d of him in Villenage, with the Te-

ving marricd three Wives, 1- Helen ® the eldcli
Daughter and Cohcir to Alan of Galwey 3 2+ Maud

Farlot Foxrban, in Scotland 5 and Ela, to * Alan
ls Zouſche. Which Coheirs, in 56 H. 3. paying

their Relict*, had Livery ® ot the Lands of their
Inheritance.

Another Dzughter he had, called Jſabell (though
by which Witc I caanot (ay) as 1s manifett trom an
Agreement * made at TWare, upon Wedneſday
next enſuing: the Featt of the Purification of our |

Lady, in Anno 1240+ ( 24 H. 3.) betwixt him and
Foba the Son of Hugh de Nevill, for a Marriage be-
ewixt Hugh the Son of him the (aid Fohn, and her
the (aid Iſabell.

A word now of Robert his younger Brother.

In 41 H. 3. this Robert, amongtt 2 divers other
Noble Perſons, who ſold Þ» their Poſſefſions in
England, for the Aſſiſtance of the King of France
in the Holy War, was © one : And having married

before-ſpecified Alan Vicount of Roan, in exchange
for all thoſe Lands which he the (aid Roger then

ca, poſſeſs'd in Bzitannp : and continued ® Sherift of

Devonſhire unto the end of the fifteenth year of
the ſame King Henry the Third.

This Roper, being Lord of the Mannor of
Tonge, in Com. Salop. did, by a fair Deed 9, under
his Seal, whereon is his Portraiqzyre on Horſeback ,
in a Military Habit, grant to de efort »
and his Heirs, three Yard-Land, three Meſluages,
and certain Woods lying in Nozton, and Shawe,
(in the Pariſh of Tonge) with Paunage for a great
number of Hogs, in the Woods belonging to that
Mannos: As alſo liberty of Fiſhing in all his Wa-
ters there, excepting the great Pool of Tofge 3
with divers other Privileg

es, viz of getting Nuts
in thole Woods for ſeveral days, &c. Rendring
yearly to him the ſaid Roger, and his Heirs, a Chap-
let of Roſes, upon the Feaſt-day of the Nativity of
St. Fobn Baptiſt, in caſe he or they ſhould be then
at Longe 3 if not, then to be put upon the Image
of the Bleſſed Virgin, in the Church of Monge 5
for all Services, Suit of Court, &c.

And (with Alan his Son) gave to the Canons of
Mayden-18:adlep, in Com. Wilteſ. a certain Tene-
ment in Tudewozth. ;

To whom ſucceeded Alan his Son and Hear.
Which Alan, in 26 H. 3. had Summons * to pre-
pare himſelf with Horſe and Arms, and to attend
the Ring into France, And in 34 H. 3 had a
Grant 9 of the Cuſtody of all the King's Lands in
Cheſhire, and North-Woales, viz. Kos, Kewennypoc,-
Ditfrin-Clopd , and Englefeild 5 to anſwer the
yearly Profit of thoſe Lordſhips to the King, at
Midſummer and Chriſtmaſs, by equal Portions,

Moreover, in 36 H- 3+ he had the whole County
of Cheſter, and all Nozth-Umales, committed
r to his Truſt. Andin 45 H. 3. obtain'd the King's
Charter # for a Market every Week, upon the Sa.
t:irday, at Aſþeby la Zuſche, in Com Leic. it being
before upon the Tueſday: as alſo for two Fairs
yearly, at his Mannor of Swaveſepe, in Cambridg-
ſhire; each to continue for eight days3 the one to
begin on the Eve of the Feſtival of the Invention of
the Holy Croſs z and the other, on the Eve of its
Exaltation. FRY | =

The ſame year he was conſtituted t Warden of all
the King's Foreſts South of Trent 5 as alſo Sheriff
u of Northamptonſhire; in which Sheriffalty he
continued * till the fiftieth of that King's Reign,
and for three parts of that'year. And in 46 H. 3.
was made 7 a Juſtice-Itinerant for the Counties of

Suthampt. Buck, and Northampt-

Furthermore, in 48+. 3. upon 2 that Arbitre-
ment made by Lewes King of France, betwixt the
King and the Barons, he was one of thoſe who, on
the King's part, undertook Þ for performance of
the ſame ;. And ſtood in: fuch great favour with
that King, that, in 51 H. 3. he obtain'd «, for the
behoof of Orabill, and Margerie, his Nieces, Daugh-
ters of William de Horeconrt, the Redemption of
the Lordſhips of Tonge, in Com. Salop. and Aple-
ſton, in Com- Leic- with the Soke of Stratton 5
which, by reafon of Harecowrt's adherence to the
King's Adverſaries, in the time of the late Trou-
bles, had been forfeited 9 to the Crown. In which
year alſo, he was made Confiable © of the Tower of
London + as allo Governour * of the ci at
Northampton. |

But all that I farther find of him, is, That he be-
ſtowed 5 on the Knights-Templars divers Lands in
Sibfozd5 and gave" to the Monks of Bildwas,

|

the Town of Upton, in Com. Salop. And that he
took to Wife Elene ', one of the Daughters * and
Heirs to Roger de @winci Earl of Winchiler.
Whereuponfyo 51 H. 3. he had Livery | ot all
that Purparty of his Lands, which by Inheritance
belong'd to her.

It 1s reported by ſome ®, That this Alan was
ſlain in Weſtminſter-Hall, by 7-b4 Earl Warren,
upon occafion of a Quarrel which hapned betwixt
them, touching ſome Title of Land : but therein
they are miſtaken, he being onely wounded, as was
alſo Roger his Son (at that time with him) viz. in
Anno 1268. (52 H. 3+) asin my Diſcourſe of Fob»
Earl Warren I have at large manifeſted 3 and as it
appears by the Inquiſition " taken after his death,
which ſheweth, that he died about two years afecr,
viz. in 54 H, 3. being then ſciſed 9 of the Mannors
of North-Pulton, i» Com. Devon. and Alheby 1s
Bonche, in Com. Leic- and that he had Iſſue ? Roger
his Son and Heir, then xxviii years of age; as alfo
a younger Son, called Ewde, or Ivon.

Which Roger had, ſoon after, Livery 4 of his
Lands, doing his Homage : but died rin 13 E. 1-
Alan his Son being * then xviii ycars of age.

Which Alan, offering * his Service to the King

in Geſcoigne , upon the Feaſt-day of Sr. Dennis,
16 E. 1. was courteoufly by him receiv'd; and
therefore his Homage was at that time reſpited *,
by reaſon of his preſent Employment ; and a ſpe-
cial Precept ” forthwith ſent to Walter de Laſci,
the King's Eſcactor-General in Ireland, to dcliver
unto him all his Lands in that Realm, which he had
ſciſed into his Hands for neglecting that Homage.
' Moreover, in 22 E.1. he was * again in the Wars
of Gaſcoing. So likewiſe in * 24 E. 1. Edmand
Earl of Lancafter (the King's Brother) being then
Commander ® in Chief of the Engliſh- Army there:
at which time the French iſſued < out of Bufde-
aux, and gave 4 them Battel, but with great loſs,
being forced to retreat,

In 25 E. 1- he was again © in Gaſcoine 5 and in

the Company *® of Roger le Bigod.

In 34 E. 1+ he was * again in thoſe Scottiſh-
Wars; And in 4 E. 2. (amongſt other of the No-
bles) had Summons * to be at Koxbozough, on the
Feaſt-day of St. Peter ad Vinculs, well fitted with
Horſe and Arms, to march againſt the Scots,

Furthermore, the next enſuing year, (viz. 5 E. 2.)
he was conſtituted Governour * of Kokingham-
Caftle in Northamptonſhire, and Steward ! of that
Foreſt.
Leiceſter, all thoſe Grants which his Anceſtors,
viz the Earls of Leiceſter and Wincbefter, had made

H E Chief of this Family (as our beſt Ge-
| nealogiſts * have obſerved) was William
;R. 01.5 Fitz-Aldelme, Steward Þ to King Henry

1-255. the Second, and Governour © of the City of TWex-
fozd, in Ireland 5 unto which City, theſe Places
here mention'd did then 4 perform Service viz.
Arkelow, and Glaſcarigg, as alſo che Land of
Gilbert Borard, Fernregwinal, Fernes, all the
Lands of Herve, lying betwixt- Werfozd, and the
River of Waterfo2d 3 the Service of Reimund de
Drmne, the Services of Fozdonelau, Uthmoztbe,
and Leqhling 3 the Tenement of Machtale, Lei 3
and likewiſe the Lands of Geffrey de Coſtentin.

Upon the Return © of King Henry the Second
out of Ireland ( which was in Ano 18. of his
Reign) he ſent * this William (then ® his Steward)
to manage all things there in his ſtead, But all
that I have farther ſeen of him, as to his Secular
Employments, is, That he was Sheriff © for the
County of Cunhberland, from the beginning of
the firſt year, to the end of the ninth year of King
Richard the Fill,

As to his Works of Piety, he founded i the Mo-
naſtery of St. Thomas the Martyr, near Dublin, |
for Canons-Regular of St. Auguſtin's Order 3 and
afterwards, in the preſence * of Vivian the Cardi-
nal, and Lawreuce Archbiſhop of Dublin, gave
! to theſe Canons one Carucate of Land, called
«Dunovere, with a Mill and Meadow, for the
health of the Soul of Geffrey Earl of Anjou, Fa-
ther of King Henry the Sccond 3 and for the Soul
of the Empreſs his Mother as alſo tor the Souls of
King Henry the Second, and his Children. More-
over, in Anno 1186, (32 H.2.) henatificd ® to
the Hoſpitallers of St. Fob ot Dierufalem , the
Gift of the Lordſhip and Chureh of Litzle-Ma-
peltreſtede , made to them by Julian his Wike,
Daughter " of Robert Doiſnell; and lett Iſſue * Ial-
ter: who taking to Wife Made the ſole Daughter
” and Heir to Hugh de Lacz Lord of Ulſter in
Ireland, became 4 thereupon Lord of that Pro-
vince: from whom deſcended » Elizabeth (Daugh-
ter and Heir to William his Great Grandſon) Wite
of Leonel Duke of Clarence, third Son to King
Edward the Third.

Another Son he had, called Richard, from
whom the Earls of Clanrikard do derive their
Deſcent, But of theſe, in regard they were not
Barons of this Realm of England, I do not take
upon me to diſcourſe; and therefore ſhall deſcend
to Hubert de Burgh, Brothers Son to the beforc-ſpe-
cified PVilliam Fitz: Aldelme (if our beſt Genealo-
giſts are not miſtake.) a Perſon of eminent Note in
his time.

Of this Hubert, the firſt mention I find, is, That
he was Servant tto King Richard the Firſt, as alſo
u to King Jobn, being ſent * by him from Koan,
in the firſt year of his Reign, to treat of a Margi-
age for him with a Daughter to the King of Poz-
figall : And had ſuch great eſtimation from that
King, that in 3 of his Reign, bcing Lord Cham-
berlain Y of his Houſhold, he was conliituted

? Warden of the Marchcs of Wales, and had : C
Soldiers to attend him in thoſe Parts, The (ame
year likewiſe he had Command * trom the King to

fortihe Dunſter-Caſtle, in Com. Somerſet. and was
made Sherift © of Co:nwall, as allo Governour +

4 of Landfſtaneron-Calilc, in that County, So

{ likewiſe © oft Poboz-Callle, in Kent.

And in 4 7. b. when : King Philip of France
had poſſeſy'd himſelf of all Noztuandy , ( with
Euftace Biſhop of Elp) he was ſent © Embaſſador,
to treat with him for the Reſtitution thereof.

For the Counties of Dozſet and Souerfet he
executed the Sheriff*s Othice in the third, tourth,

ſhire, as ' long : For Berk(þtre, the one halt * of
the fourth year, and the whole ! fitth and lixth ;
And for Lincolnſþire, for the fourth part of the
tenth year, to the end of the tittecnth,

Morecover, in 13 Fob. upon ® Collcction of the
Scutage of Scotland, he anſwercd " tor xiv
Knights Fees, and a tourth part, de veteri Feoff a-
mento, for the Honour of Wirmegay, and a fourth
part de yovo (having marricd the Widow ot Dodso
Bardolf Lord of that Barony, as 1 ſhall (hcw by
and by:) As allo for ® two Fees, which did belong
to Robert Fitz: Roger, (of the Tahcritance of his
Wite, the Heir of William de Norwiz, )

In 16 Fob. he was Scncſ{chal ” of Poictous and
the next cnluing ycar, when divcrs of the Barons
role in Arms againſt the King, was conliituted
1 one of the Commiſſioners to treat with them at
Kunnimede (near Stenes, in Com, Berkſ.) where
the King granted to the Pcople what had been (o
eagerly contended for by thoſe Barons,as is maniteſt
by the ewo famous Charters of Libcrtics, called
Magna Charta, and Charts de Foreſts, then and
there Scaled r, And for the great eſtimation he
had of this Hubert's Merits, advanc'd © hin to that
| eminent Ofhce of Juſtice of England, at the ſame
time and place, in the preſence of the Earls Var-
ren, Ferrers, and others of the Nobility, viz. upon
the fifteenth day of June the ſame year 3 (for then
t do thoſe Charters bcar date. )

Soon after which, viz upon the twenty fifth of
the ſame Month, he was conſtituted » Sheriff of
the Counties of Kent and Surrep, and * Gover-
nour of the Caſtle at Canterburyz and within
hve days following, Conliable * of Doboz- Caſile.
Moreover, upon the nineteenth of July, he was

Governour of that Calilez as allo « of the Caliles
of Nozwich and D210;d.

Furthermore, upon the thirteenth of Augult,
the Cuſtody of the Honour of Ketleiuh was com-
mitted Þ to his Truſt. In Oktober allo he obtain'd
a Grant © of the Lordſhip aud Hundred of You in
Kent (part of the Poll.iſions ot Robert Bardolf: )

And as he (tood firm to King Fob in his great- |
cſt Diltrcſcs, fo did he to King Hewry the Third
(his Son and Succeſſor ) then of tender age: For
when Lewes beſieged ® Dgboz-Callle, and (defiring
" to ſpeak with him) told © him, That King Fobn
being dead, he had no obligation to hold it againſt
him; promiling ?, in caſc he would give it up, to
enrich him with great Honours, and advance him
to be the Chick of his Council 3 he Routly anſwer-
ed 1, That though the King his Maſter was dead,
he had Icft both Sons and Daughters, who ought
to ſuccecd him; and that he would ſay more to
him, when he had (poke with his Fellow-ſoldiers
in the Caltle. Which he ſfoon did, abſolutely re-
fuling r, by ſo doing, to incur the guilt of Trea-
lon. Whercupon Leres and the Barons quitted
C that Sicge, and return'd to London, with pur-
pole t to beleaguer other leſſer Forts, in ſundry
Parts of the Realm.

And, ſoon after this, when » Ewſtace le Moyne (an
eminent Perſon in France) with cen more Lords,
came with a great Fleet, in aid of Lewes; this Hu-
bert, having but * eight Ships, encauntred Y him
at Sca, took him Priſoner, and cut * off his Head.

In this firſt year of Henry the Third , he had

(part 4 of the Lands of Down Bardolf) which had
been formerly given © to him by King Foby, And,
in 4 H. 3. upon the death f ot William Mareſchall

Earl of Pemb:cke, who had been ©® Governour of
the King and Kingdom (the King being then but
xiv years of age) lucceeded him in that Truſt.

Moreover, ſoon after this, (viz. in 5 H. 3.)
the Court being then i at Pozke, he took © to Wite
Margaret the Siſter of the King of Scotland 53 the
King himſelf, with divers of the Nobility, being
then preſent ', the Archbiſhop of Canterbury then
joyning ® their Hands together. In this year he
luppreſt ” a great and dangerous InſurrcQion in
London, begun by one Conſtantive, a Chick Man
in that City. And in $ H. 3. was conſtituted Go-
vernour © of the Caltles of Arundell, and Ko-
cheſter.

Howbcit, the next year following, diſcontents
" growing betwixt the King and many of the Ba-
rons (the King then keeping his Chriſtmaſs 4 at

forbear to require their Caltles, and to hearken to
the Counlels of this Habert, ( who then carried
himfclt higher than any Nobleman of England)
thcy would all riſe up againſt him, as one Man.
Whereunto, though * the King yielded not, this
Spark did not then brcak out to a Flame : For the
next enſuing year ( folemnizing t+the Feaſt of

tying | him with Cords, fcnt * for a Smith, to

But all this prevailed nothing ® upon Sir Godfrey
and his Company 3 tor they took 4 him away ne-
vertheleſs, and brought him to the Tower of
London, with his Legs tied = under the B-lly of
the Horſe: Whereof when they made relation
to the King, who had fate long vp to hear the
News, he went t meriily to Bed.

Howbcit, the next Morning, Roger Biſhop of |

London, being told » how they had dragg'd him
out of the Chappel, went * immediately to the
King, and boldly rebuk'd Y him, for thus viola-
ting the Peace of Holy Church; ſaying *, That
if he did not forthwith tree him of his Bonds, and
{end him back to that Chappel, -whence he had
been thus barbarouſly taken, he would pronounce
the Sentence of Excommunication againſt all who
had an hand therein. Whereupon the King, be-

to the (ame Chappel, upon the hitth Calend of
October : but withal dire&ed his Precept » to the
Sheriff of Sex and Dertfozdſhire, upon pain of

death, to come himlclt in Perſon, as alio to bring
with him the Poſſe Comit atus, and to cncompals
the Chappel, to the end he ſhould not clcape

thence, nor reccive any manner of Food.

Which the Sherift accordingly did ©, making a |

great Ditch ©, as well about the Biſhop's Houlc,
as the Chappel; rclolving *© to liay there for torty
days.

The Archbiſhop of Dublin thurctore, hearing,
ot this his hard ulage, notwithitanding © che King
had {trictly torbiddcn any (oO Move tor 11m, 1 MaKke
mention ot him, ( being * his old aud furc Friend)
addfreſicd himlelt to the King, and carnciily im-
portun'd " him, that in ſtcad ot this Craclty to-

Fi ln:d. 4's

wards Hubert, he would exerciſe what he had a **

mind farther to do to him, upon himilcli. Where
unto, all the Anſwer * he could obtain, was, That
he would piit him to his choice, cither to abjurc
the Realm tor ever, or to {ubmit to perpetual I1im-
priſonment, or el{c openly to acknowledge him-
{elf a Traytor.

To which hard Propoſals, Hubert returned ',
That though he had done nothing worthy thereof,
he would be content © quit the Kingdom for a
time, but not abjure to return,

Whillt things were thus in agitation, the King
being advertiſcd *, that Hubert had depolited great
Trealure in the New Temple at London, he ! ſent
for the Maſter there, and lirictly queition'd him
thereot : Who did acknowledge ”, That he had
certain Moneys committcd to him and his Fellows
Truſt, by Hubert; but what it was, he knew
not. Whereupon the King rcquir'd ® the deli-
very thereof to him, athrining ®, That it had
been fraudulently taken out of his Treaſury. But
to this Demand , the Templars unanimouſly an-
(wered ®, That they would not deliver it without
his conſent who had depoſited it with them. It
being therefore thus in the Protection of the
Church, the King ſent 4 his Treaſurer, with the
Juſtices of the Exchequer, to Hwbert, (thus in Fet-
ters in the Tower of London) to require the Mo-
ney for the King's behootk.

To whom Hubert made anſwer , That he ſhould
freely ſubmit himſelf, and all that he had, to the
King's Pleaſure and forthwith dirc&cd © the Tem-
plars to deliver up the Keys thercot to the King,
to do what he thould think hit. Whereupon the
King cauſed ' the Money to be counted, and put
into his own Treaſury, taking an Inventory there-
of.

Upon view therctore of what was thus depoli-
ted, they found © great (iorc of Plate , both of
Gold and Silver, much Moncy, and divers |.w-
els of very great value. Which bcing made pub-
lick,, and the King urged *, that, having thus
diſcovered his Fraud, he ought to condenin him
to ſome evil death; he anſwered ', He bath been
a faithful Servant to my Uncle King Richard,
from his Childhood, and afterwards to my Fa:
ther King John, 4 I have heard: And althougb

whercof he had been poſle(s*d, cither by the Grant
of King J-bn, or by bis own Acquiſition.

Hubert theretore being, told of this, was much
reviv'd Þ, and appointcd © one Lawrence, a Clerk
ot St. Albans (who had approved himſelt a faith-
ful Servant to him in his greateſt Miſeries) to be
his Steward of them : And, ſoon after this, being |
Bailed 4 from his firi& Impriſonment, by Richard
Earl of Cozntoall (the King's Brother) William
Earl Warren, Richard Mareſchball Earl of Pem-
bzoke, and William Earl Ferrers, he was ſent © to
the Caſtle of Deviſes , there to be kept by four
Soldiers of thoſe Earls. Where, being committed
f to the Dungeon (id eſt, the Keepe ot that Caltlc)
there was another Soldier, ſent 5 by Fobn Earl of
Lincolne, to be his Keeper, in ſtead of that who
firſt had the Charge of him: And after, ano-
ther *, in ſtead of him, (who belong'd f to
Richard Earl of Coznwall, the King's Brother)
with ſpecial Command ||, That no one might have
acceſs to him and that the Perſon who brought
his Meat, ſhould not approach nearer to him, than
the Gate of that Tower wherein he was fo ſtrictly
kept. .

Ie is ſaid © of this Hubere, That when he lay
under this great AſliQion, hearing of the death of
the Earl of Cheſter (which hapned at Walling
fozd, 5 Cel. Nov. Anno 1233.) who was one of
his greateſt Enemies 3 he fetch*d a deep Sigh, and
ſaid, God have mercy on bis Soul: and calling for
his Pſalter, ſtood devoutly before the Crols, cealing
not before he had lung it all over, for the health ot
his Soul.

But, ſhortly after this, the King's Heart ſome-
what relenting, he obtain'd a full and free Pardon
* for his Flight and Outlawry; as alſo a Grant
+ that his Heirs ſhould freely cnjoy all the Lands of
his own Inheritance : but as to ſuch which he had
otherwiſe obtained, they ſhould ſtand to the King's
Favour and Kindneſs, and ſuch Terms as the King
ſhould think fit 3 the King retaining all thoſe of his
own Demeſn, which through his Bounty he had be-
ſtow'd on him : and likewiſe the Caſtle of Wont-
gomerp, with other Caſtles in England and Wales.
Whercupon, by a ſpecial Grant,he quitted his Titke
to the Office of Juſtice of England z obliging him-
ſclf by Oath to make no Claim thereto. In conli-
deration whereof, within few Months following,
he had Reſtitution || of the Caſtle of Þoznbp 5 as
allo of the * Mannor of Þatfeild- Peverell, in Come.
Eſſex. ( of the Grant of William de Mandevill
Earl of Efſex) of the Borough of Sutherten, the
Mannors of Newenton, and Kugham, in Cim-
Nozfi. and ©uff. of his own Inhericance 3 of the
Mannors of Wirmgay, Stowe, Koubeton, and
Fineberge, with the Appurtenances, which were
part of the Lands of Beatrix de Warren (formerly
his Wife) in thoſe Counties 3 of the Mannors of
Aſpele, and Penlawe , in the Counties of Buck,
and Bedf. which he had of the Grant of Reginald
de $4. Walerie, with a vaſt proportion of Lauds
in divers other Counties (the Particulars whereof,
for brevity, I omit:) the King only relerving to
himfclt the Caſtles of Skenfret, Gzoſmunt, 1Bew-
chaſtell, and Þoznebp, with their Appurtenances,
and all the Catte] and Stock upon thoſe Lord(hips.
Which Grant bears date 13 Nov. 18 B& 3.

But ere long the King's Countenance towards
him did alter again: For, in February next en-
ſuing, he direRed his Precept * to the Sheriff of
Efex, to make Livery of the before-ſpecified
Mannor of Þatfeild- Peverell, unto Robert Paſſe-

_

| lew, to the end that, with the Rents and Mes

thcreok , certain Clerks ( viz. Roman, Italian,
and others) who had ſuftcred by Opprefſion from

this Hubert, might have SatisfaRtion, ſuitable to

their reſpective Injuries. As allo to+ the Sheriffs
of divers other Counties, to deliver Poſſeſſion un.
to the ſame Robert, of the greateſt part of the
Lordfhips and Lands before-ſpecitied, for the like
purpoſes ; ſo that, by this means, he was again left
in a very bare condition.

Moreover, the Biſhop of TWincheſter, eagerly
thirſting * after his death, he being ! ill Priſoner
in the Caſtle of the Deviſes, ſollicited ® the King,
that he might be Governour thercof, whereby he
might have the fitter opportunity * to murther
him.

Having therefore private intimation ® of this
miſchievous Deſign, he made it known to his
Keepers 3 who compaſſionating ? his Condition,
permitted 9 one of the Soldiers to carry him over
the Caſtle-wall, in the Night-time, unto the Pariſh-
Church. Which Soldier, eficeming =» the Merit
great, in ſuffering with him, attended \ him to
the High-Altar, and there ſiaid. But thoſe who
were then upon the Guard, hearing of his Eſcape,
hafted t after him, with Lights and Clubs; and
finding » him proſtrate before the Altar, with the
Croſs in his Hands, hurried * him again with vio-
lence to the Caltie, and there put him into ſtricter
Cuſtody.

Whereof when the Report came to the Biſhop

Caſtle; and requiring * thoſe Violators of Sanctu-
ary to reſtore .him again to the Church, they an-
(wered ©, That they had rather he ſhould be hang'd
than themſelves. ;

For which diſobedience, the Biſhop firſt excom-

| | municating Þ them, took with him Roger Biſhop

of London, and ſome other Biſhops, and went
c to the King; to whom he made a great Com-
plaint 4 of the Injury done, not departing till he
had obtain'd his Liberty. But to little purpoſe 3
for being ſent © to the Church again, the King com-

fiarve him to death.

Being therefore in this deſperate condition, the
Soldiers had ſome compaſſion on him, and took
3 him thence to ſome of his Friends; who puttin
b him into a Military Habit , convey'd him into
i Wales, unto the King's Enemies, where he ar-
riv'd k upon the third Calend of November.

But, not long after this, the King being |! at
Wodſtoke, on his Journey towards Glouceſter,
(hearing * of the death of Richard Mareſchall
Earl of Pembzoke, for which he much lamented ®)
thence came to Glouceſter, where he met * with
Edmund Archbiſhop of Canterbury, and ſome
other of the Biſhops, then ſent to him from Lon*
don 3 who there acquainted 9 him, That they bad
treated of Peace with Leolixe Prince of Wales :
but ſo, as that there ſhould, in the firſt place, be a
Reconciliation betwixt him, and all his Nobles,
who, having adhered to Leoline, had been baniſh'd
the Realm, by the inftigation of Evil Counſel :
Which being juſtly effeRed, the Peace then treated
of was like to be the more durable.

Whereupon the King caus'd ? all thoſe who had
been fo baniſh'd, to be ſent to Glouceſter, upon
the Sunday preceding Aſcenſion-day. (viz. 4 Cal-
Funii) there to receive his Grace and Favour:

whilſt he was under his Tutclage, he had conſum'd
i his Treaſure, converting it to his own uſe, and
bought Lands of great extent therewith. :
Alſo *, That in the Wars of Bzitannp, againſt
the French, by his Treachery a great part of the
bid, Engliſh Army was loſt. Likewile |, That he had
cauſed a Marriage privately to be made with R;-
chard de Clare Earl of Glouceſter, and his own
Daughter z thereby machinating Treaſon againſt
the King himlelt. |
»; Iid.n.r0 Furthermore, he told ® him, That he had per-
niciouſly hindred his Marriage with a Noble La-
dy 3 privately inſinuating to her, and her Father,
That he was ſilly, diſhoneſt, tainted with Leproſie,
deceitful, forſworn, and more weak than a Wo-
- man 3 cruel to his own SubjeQs, and wholly car-
ried away by the allurements of Women,
And, beſides all this, farther laid * to his charge,
That he had deſfiroy'd his Woods in thoſe Forelts
where he had to do; and that, on a time, being
at his Palace of (Wodſtoke, alone with him in his
Chamber, he drew his Knife upon him, to cut his
Throat : And, in concluſion, ſharply told 9 him,
5 1.30, That for this his Infolence, he delery'd not onely
Hanging, but Drawing allo.” .

Whereupon, bowing * himſelf; he ſaid, 4 Sir, I
way never Traytor f0 you, Nor your Father ; and
did evidently demontirate ” it by ſundry Particu-
lars Nevertheleſs, to fatisfie the King, and ap-
ſid, peaſe his wrath, he was there adjudged * to give

up four of his chiefeſt Caltles, viz. Bewcaſtle ,
G2oſmunt, Skenefrith, and Pafeild, to the end

: he might enjoy the reſt of his Poſleſſions quietly.
;Ct.24H, This was in 24 H. 3. where the Record f of
' that year doth expreſs, That after all thoſe great
Troubles and Sorrows, he totally ſubmitted to the
King's Grace ard Favour, and delivered up his Ca-
iiles of Skenefrith, Gzoſſemunt, and Bewcaſtle,
n Wales 5 as allo his Caſtle of Þethlegh, with

the Town and Park. And, that the King was
thereupon pleaſed, that he and Margaret his Wife
ſhould, during their re(pcQive Lives, and the Lite
of the Survivor of them, enjoy all his other Lands
whatſoever, by whomloever granted, and to rc-
ceive him into his full Grace and Favour.

Thus much as to his Secular Actings and Suffer-
ings. Inow come to his Works of Picty.

To the Monks of Clipbe in @omerſetſhire he

| gave * certain Lands in Clybe, Treglaſton, and

Potbwell : To « the Canons of Bzadſole,in Rent,
the Church of Pozreſlade: To * the. Monks of
Doze, in Com. Peref. certain Lands called Lin-
cboit, which were made a Grange to that Abby ,
and Paſturage for all manner of Cattel, in his Ter-
rifory of Gzcſinunt. Likewiſe, Paunage for thcir
Hogs, in the Foreli of G:zofmunt 3 Eftovers for
Building at their Grange of Linchoit, out of the
lame Foreſt; and dead. wood for Fewcl. More-
over, he gave / unto them the Hermitage of L a1;
neir, with the Ground thereto adjoyning, and ix
Ox-gangs of Land in the before-ſpeciticd Forcit.
He alſo founded ” the Hoſpital of our Lady at
Doboz. Furthermore , he gave * certain Houlcs,
ſituate betwixt the Abby of Weſtminſter, and the
City of London, to Lawrence de St. Alban, Rector
of the Church of Atelbergh, and Richard de Wo-
kinden, ReCEtor of the Church of A......lers5
to the intent that the Revenues of thoſe Houſes
ſhould be diſpoſed of for the ſuccour of the Holy
Land; as alſo for the health of his Soul, and the
Soul of Margaret his Wife, Fobn his Son, M. his
Daughter, and all his Forctathers and Succeſſors,
Laſtly, in confideration of the Sum of Cxl Marks
of Silver, he purchaſed * from the Monks of
Weſtminſter the Inheritance of certain Houlcs,
with a Court, and Free-Chappel, whercin to ccle-
brate Divine Scrvice for himſelf and his Family,
within the Liberties of Weſtminſter 5 paying
yearly to them and their Succefiors, a Wax Taper of
three pound weight upon the Fcaſt-day of St. Eq-
ward. And founded * the old Church of the Mae-
ſon Dieu, in Dovoz. |

As to his Wives, he firſt Wedded © Foane Daugh-
ter to William de Vernun Earl of Webon, ( Wi-
dow of William de Briwer ) with whom he had
4 in Marriage the whole lile of Wiht , and the
Lordſhip of Chziſt-Church in Pantſhire. $e-
condly; © Beatrix Daughter to William de Warren
(of UWirmegay, in Com- N-:ff.) Widow of Dods
Bardolf Thirdly, * Iſabel! Daughter and Cohcir to
William Earl of Gloucefier, Widow of Geffrey de
Mandevill, whom King Jobn bad liclt repudiated ;
And fourthly, t Margaret Daughter to William
King of @cotland (as bctore hath been obluuved.)

Of his Iſſue, all that I have ſeen, is, That he
had two Sons, Fobnu, and Hubert * 3 both by his
laſt Wife, as it {ccms ; For, certain it is, that Fobn
ſucceeded him in that part of his Inheritance which

remained, and was by the ſaid Margaret. The, 7

Names of his Daughters were Margaret ?, and Ma-

got” : Whercot Margaret was fo marricd 2 to Kij-

chard de Clare Eail of Glouceſter, as hath becn
already obſerved. ALE |

Of his Death, I find that it hapned at Þ Ban-

Whereupon his Corps was brought to Londo!',
and there honourably interred © within the Church

In 7 H. 3. he was conſtituted Governour f of
Newcaſtle upon Tine. And in $ H. 3. the King
coming to a Conference ® with the Lords, wherein

they requir'd Þ of him thoſe Rights and Liberties |

tor which they had (o ſtoutly conteſted with his
Father z the Archbiſhop of Canterbury then ſpeak-

That he could not refuſe to yield thereto, by rea-
fon that, upon the Receſs of Lewes of France
(whom the Barons had call'd in to bear Rule here)

In this eighth year of Henry the Third, he was
conliituted Governour 4 of Boleſover- Caſtle, 3»
Com. Derb. and obtain'd the Wardſhip * of the
Heir of Reginald de Mobun (whom he afterwards
married to one of his Daughters. )

And, as in the time of King Henry the Second,
and King Richard the Firſt, he had for divers years
undergone the Care and Truſt of the Sheriffalty in
{cveral Counties of this Realm (as before is ob-
{erved 3) fo did he, inlike fort, for many years of
King Fobn's, and King Hewry the Third's Reign,
during the time he lived 3 viz. © for the Countics
of Nt. and Derb. in 1 and 6 Foh. For Dorſet, and
Somerſet, in 11 and 12 Foh. For Hantſhire, in
1, 3, 10, 12, 14, and 17 Fob. For Wilteſ. in 10,
1 f,and 12 Fob. For Cornwall, in 1, 4, and 5 Foh.
For Berks. and Oxon. in 3, and 4 Fob. For Devon.
mn 45,6, 7,8,9, and 10 Fob. For Syſex, in 11
and 12 Fob. and for Glouc.in 5H. 3.

Having thus done with his Secular Employ-
ments, 1 come latily to his Works of Piety, which
were great and many. For firlt, in the time of
Ring Richard, he tounded t the Abby of Sz. $2-
tiour, at Torre, 14 Com. Devon. tor Premonſtratenſi an
Canons, for the health of the Soul of that King,

and the Soul of King Henry the Second. Next, |

"?. viz. in 3 fob. he began the Foundation u of the

Avvy at Dunki/well, in the ſame County, for Ci-

{

-

flertian-Monks. After that, the Hoſpital * of St.
Fobn, at Bruggewalter, in Com. Somerſet. for the
health of the Souls of King Henry the Second, King
Richard the Firlt, and King Jobn3 for xiii poor
Pcople, beſides Religious and Strangers. Then
the Priory of Mvotisfont !, in Com. Suthampt. for
Canons-Regular of St. Azgujtine-

Moreover, he built * the Callle, and made * the
Haven at 3Bzugge-talter 5 and began « the Stru-
ture of that fair Stone-Bridge there, conliſting of
three great Arches 3 which was afterwards tniſh'd
b by one Triveth, a Gentleman of Devonthire.

And, having marricd © Beatrix de Valle, a Con-

cubine, as *tis ſaid 4, to Reginald Earl of Cornwall |

(which is probable; for in a Grant © made by
Henry Son to the ſame Reginald, unto this William,

of the Mannor of Karſwell, and Land of Hakford,

he calls him his Brother) he had Iſſue by her two
Sons, viz. Richard f, who dicd in his Lite-time, as
it ſeems; and William: as alſo five Daughters,
viz. Grecia, married © to Reginald de Braoſe > Mar-
garet, to" William de Fertez Iſabel, tilt to *
Dovre, and afterwards * to Baldwin Wake; Alice,
to | Reginald de Mobun ; and Joane, to ® William
de Percy : and departing ” this Life in 11 H. 3. was
buried » before the High-Altar in the Abby of
Dunkeswell bcfore-mention'd,

Of which Richard, all I have farther ſcen, is,
That in 13 Foh. upon ? the Colletion of the Scu-
tage of W.leg, he anſwered 9 for xv Knights
Fees of the Honour of Moreton, which were tor-
merly belonging to Walter Briton» and, in 15 Fob.
that, doing his Homage *, he had Poſleſſion © ot the
Mannor of Ceſtrefeld, in Com, Derb. which his
Father held.

I now come to William, called William Briwere
junior, whilſt his Father lived. *

In i7 Foh. this William obtain'd a Grant * from
the King, of the Lands of H«gb Peverell of Er-
minton, to hold during pleaſure: and in 7 H. 3.
was conſtituted Sheriff » for the County of Nor-
thumberlaud. So likewiſe for * Devon(hire, in 8 H. 3.
And, upon Y the death of his Father, in 11 H. 3.
gave a Fine * to the King of Six hundred Marks,
tor Livery of the Mannor of Ceſtreſeld, with the
Wapentake of @ciredale, in Com. Derb. Like-
wile of the Town of S1ointon, in Com. Note. and

Fiſhing of KingsWwere, #1 Com. Somerſet. as alſo of

the Town of Axeminſter, with the Hundred, in
Com. Devon. and. the Lordſhip of Stoke, in Com.
Northampt. (all which William his Father, then
deceaſed, he!d # :) and that he might be diſcharg'd
b of his Relief for all his Lands.

But all that I have ſeen otherwiſe of him, is,
That he gave< to the Canons of Tozre, his Lands
at Piſham, and Coleton 5 as allo 4 all his Meadow
lying on the Weſt-fide of the Cauſey, which go-
eth trom the Abby of Tozre towards the Sea z and
betwixt that Cauſcy,and Cokyngron-Mcadow. And,
having marricd © Fyane the Daughter of William
de Vernon Earl of Devon, with whom he had * Fit-
ty Pounds per annum Lands at Cruſt, in the Man-
nor of Cruk, with the Advowlſon of the Church;

How beit, Geffrey de Say, who then had © great
Friends in Court, in conſideration * of Seven thou-

obtain'd an laſtrument \, in Right of his Mother,
under the King's Seal, for that whole Barony. But
Geffrey de S ay not * paying the Money accordingly,

For which violent Ade, the Monks making com-

in the Pariſh-Church of Blechelep 5 and died + the |

ſame year, leaving Ie * tour Sons, George, Tho-
ma. Richard, and William.

Which William, in regard the reſt of his Bro-
thers died * ſucceſſively, without Ifſue, became

Heir * to the Eſtate and Honour; and in 20 H. 8.

had a ſpecial Livery Y of his Lands.

After which, viz- in 36 H. $8. he was* in that
Expedition then made into France, and one 2 of
the Commanders under Fohn Lord Ruſſel} ( then
Lord Privy-Scal) in the Rere of that Army, which
beſieg'd > Montreul: and, upon the taking ot
Boloigne, by the King himſelf, the ſame year,
was made Commander < in chiet of that place.

Moreover, in x E. 6. being Marſhal © of the
Field, and Captain-General of the Horſe for that
Army, then ſent into Scotland, he march'd © in
the Head thereof, and gave * the firſt Charge upon
the Enemy. And in 2 E.6. fortified ® Hadding-
ton, fired Dalkeith, and won the Caſtle; f{poil-
ed * much of the Country about Edenburgb,Lows
thian, and Werrs 5 fired k Puſclebozough 5 for-
tified ! Lowder, and took ® Pefter.

' And the ſame year, upon thole Commotions
n rais'd in divers parts of England, in oppolition
co the Reformation, being ſent 9 into Oxfordthire,
with Fitteen hundred Horſe and Foot, the Gentle-
men of the Country reſorted ? to him, in fuch num-
bers, (in regard he was fo generally known 4 to
be a Man of Valour and Fortune) that many of
the Seditious diſperſing * themſelves, the rett were
{ ſlain or taken,

Howbeic, after this, viz in 5 E. 6. he was at-
tached t as a Favourer of the Duke of Somerſes, and
committed u to the Tower. But this Storm, when
the Duke of Somerſer's Head was off, laſted not
(he being the Perſon chiefly aimed at by thoſe
that then bore the greateſt (way : ) for the year
next following, he was made Deputy * of Ca-
lais, and Governour Y of the Calile of Giſnes,
in Picardp.

In 1 Marie he accompanied * the Duke of Nor-
thumberland, with thoſe Forces wherewith he
march'd from London, on the behalt of the Lady
Fane Gray, (whom, upon the death of King Ed-
ward the Sixth, moſt of the Lords of the Coun-
ci] had proclaimed Queen :) And to himit was 2,
that the Duke, then diſcerning Multitudes of Peo-
ple to ſtand gazing at them, ſaid, Do you ſee (my
Lord) what a Conflux of People here is drawn to-
getber, to ſee us march ? and yet, of all ths Multi-
tude, you hear not ſo much as one that wiſheth us
Sxcceſs ?

Furthermore, being Captain of the Caſtle at
Guifnes, which was firong]y beſieg'd Þ after the

. French had taken Calats 5 he defended © it with

great Valour, much longer than could well have
been expeRed againſt ſuch a Powerful Army : but
at length his Soldiers through deſpair mutinying 9,
he was conſtrain'd to yield it up, upon ſuch Terms
as the Enemy would give; viz. © That himſelf,
with all his Captains and Officers, ſhould remain
Priſoners at the diſpoſal of the Duke of Guiſe
(at that time General of the French-Forcesz) and
the Common-Soldiers to march away, with their
Arms and Baggage, whither they pleaſed. So that,
being thereupon given'f to the Marſhal Strozzy,
and by him fold ® to Moxſiexr de Randan; and from
him, to ® his Brother the Count of Rexchefoucalt 3
he continued Priſoner, until he was redeemed
' tor Twenty four thouſand Crowns ; which did
much weaken his Eſtate.

How he came to be attained, I have not (een ;

purpole 4 to ſubvert the ancicnt State of that King-

But after this, he lived not long ; for it ap-

Owen therefore F, ſeeing no other Remedy, ha-
ving many Fricnds and Followers, put himſclt in
Arms * againſt Reginaldz and, meeting him in the
Ficld, overcame, and took Y him Priſoner, (poiling
z his Lordſhip of Kuthpn 5 ſo that many reſorted
- to him from all Parts of @Wales, not knowing
but that he was in as great Favour then, as in King
Richard's days. Others putting ® in his Head, that
now the time was come, that the Britons, by his
means, dight again recover the Honour and Liber-
ties of their Anceſtors.

Reginald therefore being thus kept Priſoner c,
and ttritiy 4 handled by Owen, to terrifie him
into a Compliance with him in his Rebellious Act-
ings 3 and not © permitted to have his Liberty,
unleſs he would give Ten thouſand Marks tor his

Elneflow, and every of them, to treat with Owen
and his Council, and to conclude with him in what
they ſhould conceive moli expedient to be done

Whereupon they conſenting to give that Sam
for his deliverance, the King gave Licence * to
Robert Braybroke Bilhop of London , as alſo to
Sire Gerard Braybroke the Father, and Sire Gerard
the Son, then Feoffees of divers Lordſhips tor this
Reginald, to ſell the Mannor of ertelegh, in
Kent, towards the raiſing of that Sum. And for
the better enabling him to pay (o great * a Fine,
was pleaſed to grant, That, whereas it was enaQ-

Lands in Ireland, and did not there retide, ſhould
for luch their neglect forfeit two parts of the Pro-
